Review Author MoreTennis


Game preview : So it's Sunday today and like every week every tournament has come to end so does tournament in atlanta. Today in the final we have only Americans, two American guys never met her before, but they will meet today in the final. In the final you get 60,355 $ and 150 points, but for winning you get 114,595 $ and of course 250 points. So in the final we have John Isner and much younger Ryan Harrison, it's not the first time they will meet on the ATP tour, they met seven times before. In those 7 times, John Isner was 5 times better and only two times Ryan managed to win versus his mate. Today can be very interesting final both players we'll try hard as they can.


Let's talk about players :


John Isner - We already talked about him few time's in this tournament and few times in Newport. Well John is playing miraculous tennis, he's good on Baseline, like always he serves super balls, now he is just perfect.


Ryan Harrison - Let's let's talk about Ryan, we didn't talk about him in this tournament, so Ryan was the biggest young star in USA with his brother. He was number one youngster in America on tennis court. What happened next? He tried to play in men tennis, but it was very hard for him and american couldn't keep up with other players, so he was quiet for some time. These two past seasons for Ryan was very successful, and the moment he is in 42 ranking place, but after this tournament he will reach his highest point of the ranking. Last year he was superb on hard court surface, he had 27/13 score, this year its only 8/6, but he are making progress for sure, this tournament will help him, of course he made good run in indoors court this year (10/0). He still young so he keeps improving, and playing better and better. His strongest sides are serve, activity on court and strong game play, also he is good on doubles, so it helps him to react quickly and act good near net.


Comparing the players : Well Ryan can't compete to John with his serve, it's not so strong, but Ryan uses different style of play, he doesn't rely on it. John on oposite play with serve, his serve make's his game play, he uses a lot of serve and volley. Both Americans are different players, Ryan is younger and faster, more athletic and have complete different style of tennis.


What to expect in Final? Well, they both want to win at home, they really like public and cheerful crowd, so we guess both americans will try to show best tennis. If we talk about match specifics, so for Ryan it will be extremly hard to return John's serve, but it is most important thing to control his serve, without serve John Isner will be in though spot. Next thing Isner at the moment serves really well and dont give up his games at all, but on the other hand, he plays second final in the row, so maybe he will be not 100% high on energy. Ryan is more fresher for this final, maybe even more motivated, but all this motivation depends how he will manage to control John Isner serve, if he wont be able to return or do something on opponents serve it will end in TB or even sooner if John will manage to win Ryans serve, after demotivating his opponent with big serve.
