THE PREDICTION
Former world number eight John Isner has announced his decision to retire after the US Open at 38 years old and his journey towards that outcome will be backed to the hilt by adoring home fans in New York. The all-time ace record holder has slowly reduced his playing schedule over the last few seasons to spend more time with his family but he remained a serious threat until this season, where the cracks have started to show. Isner reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon in 2018 before a marathon five-set defeat to Kevin Anderson and he helped change the sport forever when his match with Nicolas Mahut took three days to complete in 2010 – with tennis bringing in Championship tiebreaks soon after. This looks a very kind opener for the wildcard, who would have been a tough draw for almost anybody here with the right mentality to give everything he has left this fortnight.
22-year-old Facundo Diaz Acosta set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 93rd this week after enjoying plenty of success on clay on the Challenger tour but the Argentine should struggle to match Isner’s world famous serve throughout. A tiebreak is always worth adding into any selection where Isner is involved but otherwise back the American to win outright.
