What a match from John Isner!
The American fired 29 aces (6 straight in the last 2 service games), he lost only 7 points out of 58 on his first serve to never concede a single break point in the entire match. When you have stats like this it’s really difficult to lose a match, you can … but it’s highly improbable.
Big Johny lost the first set only at the tiebreak (at 7) to break Tursunov once per set. Even if this was a 3 setter the American no.1 had always the upper hand to score 102 points vs. Tursunov’s 81. Match Stats.
Rain disruption
A key moment of the match was when the game was halted for more than 2 hours when Tursunov was 1-2 15-40 down on his serve. When the match restarted John Isner broke immediately Tursunov… for the good!
“I think without the rain delay I was going to be fine. I always look a lot more tired than I am out there, but I think I did probably come out a lot fresher, and getting that first point gave me all sorts of momentum,” said big Johny
The Final vs. Del Potro
Isner will play Del Potro in the final (7-6 6-3 on Tommy Haas) . Head to head is 3-0 for Del Potro.
