Followed by one of his worst matches ever, poor kid was worn out!

WIMBLEDON, England -- One day after winning the longest tennis match ever, John Isner lost the shortest men's match at Wimbledon so far.

The marathon man looked weary from the outset Friday, required treatment for a neck injury and was beaten by unseeded Thiemo de Bakker of the Netherlands, 6-0, 6-3, 6-2.The match was over in just 1 hour, 14 minutes, and the five games won by Isner were the fewest by a male player this week.

It was a complete turnaround from Isner's epic three-day victory against Nicolas Mahut, which lasted 11 hours, 5 minutes and went to 70-68 in the fifth set.

What's more, Isner had no aces after hitting a record 112 against Mahut.

"I've never been this exhausted before," Isner said. "Mentally and physically, I was obviously a bit drained. I just didn't have much in the way of my legs. I was just low on fuel out there. Didn't really have a chance."
