J. Isner - G. Barrere

Auckland ATP

Even though he is a veteran, Isner still remains the best ace specialist on the ATP tour, and his opponent Barrere already lost to the American 3-1 on clay last season, so I think he is 2-0 on the hard surface. The American serves well and should play at a high level after rest, while Barrere is a hard to predict tennis player who looks good in challenger tournaments, but not good in ATP. Isner has to play well in such conditions and confidently win his serves, and he often flashes during the opponent's serve, and when it comes to the tiebreak, Isner is clearly my favorite. This is how you can go with a simple win, but here I think the American will manage 2-0 and move on
