John Isner, the 37-year-old quite easily defeated the Argentine Cerúndolo in the last round. Isner is the finalist in the 2022 ATP Houston against Opelka. He not only is good in Single but is also better in Doubles. Isner’s tall height gives him the advantage in some factors while on the court. In the Madrid Open, John lost against Cameron in the early rounds thus limiting himself to Doubles. He will face one of the toughest competitors on Wednesday.
