We had a good battle in Atlanta as the world no.22, John Isner defeated in a tense 3 setter 19 years old Christian Harrison in 2 hours and 24 minutes.
Big Johny had to blast an incredible 29 aces (on 17 service games) to win this match.
From Isner
“I thought he played pretty well. He’s a very good player. I was very fortunate just to win. You never really want to win 7-5 in the third, two-and-a-half hours in humid, muggy conditions like this, but I’ll take it.” Said John
From little Harrison
The 19 years old commented “I felt like I handled it well,” said Christian. “Didn’t really feel like my emotions got away from me ever. I felt like I was under control and it just came down to a couple points here in the end. He was able to serve well and hit some big forehands… He came through clutch there in the end.”
Next Vs. Blake
Isner will play James Blake in the next round. Head to head is 2-0 for Isner. Statistics.
