Raonic earns second shot at Del Potro win streak as Zverev dumps Kyrgios out
Borna Coric of Croatia in action against Alexander Zverev of Germany during a men's quarterfinal round match at the Miami Open tennis tournament in Key Biscayne, Miami, Florida, USA, 29 March 2018. A backhand dropper pushed him into Sunday's final.
"I'm playing the best tennis I've played in a very, very long time and I'm very happy to be doing it here", Isner told the crowd.
There is no secret that the 6-10 Isner's game is banked upon his serve.
John Isner sends down one of his trademark severs during his win over Juan Martin Del Potro in Miami.
Punishing a exhausted del Potro with his serve and groundstrokes, the lanky American breezed through the first set in 27 minutes after securing an early break.
In the tiebreak, he hit another two aces - one clocked at 138 miles per hour the other at 139 - that del Potro, who showed signs of fatigue throughout 83-minute match, could not handle.
John Isner hits a 117mph victor during his semi-final match against Juan Martin Del Potro in the Miami Open.
If Isner looked relaxed, he was. "It's just a mentality. There's no other way to play the point, especially for me, because I can't really run from side to side".
Although del Potro fought off a break point in the ninth game of the second set, Isner won the first three points in the tiebreak before clinching the match.
"I have been feeling tight in all my body for the last couple of weeks... but when I get into the court I love to play tennis", said the world number six.
Rangers' Opening Day was ideal … except for the score
Luis Severino (1-0) pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings for the Yankees, who won their opener for the first time since 2011. Andrus scored on a wild pitch and the Rangers avoided being shut out in a home opener for the first time since 1992.

But now is the time to rebuild our country, to take care of our people and to fight for our great American workers for a change. Trump says he may hold up the agreement "because it's a very strong card and I want to make sure everyone is treated fairly".
"I played extremely well". He held his own in the occasional extended rally, and repeatedly quieted the crowd with big serves.
Serving first, Isner got off to a flying start as he broke del Potro early on and eventually built up a quick 3-0 lead.
Seeded No 14, Isner is 0-3 in ATP Masters 1000 finals.
Isner beat three seeded players en route to the final, including No. 2 Marin Cilic. You know, he's coming into this match winning so many matches.
"I've just continued to keep playing better", he said.
"I think I might have discovered something this week and something that I can certainly build on in the future".
I feel pain everywhere and physically I am at the limit.
"When he plays as good as today, he's one of the tougher guys on the tour", del Potro said. When he has a good day, he has everything to win a title like this.
Reigning U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens, a Plantation native, is set to take on reigning French Open champ Jelena Ostapenko in Saturday's women's final, while Americans Bob and Mike Bryan will seek their fifth Miami Open doubles title against Russians Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev.
