THE PREDICTION
Five-time Atlanta Open champion John Isner is on course to reach an incredible ninth final here if he keeps up this level, with 49 aces served over two wins against Jeffrey John Wolf and Jack Sock so far this week. The 36-year-old has only faced one break point and saved it against Wolf so world number 132 Christopher O’Connell is probably going to have to win a couple of tiebreaks if he is to reach a first ATP semi-final. The 27-year-old claimed one in a vastly impressive straight-sets shock win against Jannik Sinner in the round of 16 to reach his furthest round yet on tour and that momentum is a powerful force for Isner to contend with.
Matches involving the American veteran can be unpredictable in their results these days but one thing looks fairly likely here. Take this slug-fest to see at least one tiebreak.
