The American had a 6-3 lead and three match chances, but Bonzi maintained his composure and won five straight games to force a deciding.

Maxime Cressy vs John Isner Predictions
Isner has won four titles in Newport. His winning run at the competition has now reached 10 games. Cressy had a strong grass swing, finishing as runner-up at Eastbourne before Wimbledon.
There won’t be any lengthy rallies in this match. There should be several aces because both players have enormous serves. In his previous match, Isner racked up 29 aces, while Cressy came in just behind him with 27. The number of double faults they committed, however, was very different, with Isner making only five compared to his opponent’s 12.
Although Cressy is significantly superior while pushing forward, Isner statistically has the better serve. He recently defeated World No. 9 Felix Auger-Aliassime in the first round of Wimbledon thanks to his serve and volley strategy.
Isner had some difficulties winning the match against Bonzi in the quarterfinals. If he stumbles once again, his younger countryman might step up and take the match from him. Although the two competitors appear to be similarly matched, Cressy is most likely to defeat his more seasoned rival and go to the final.
Maxime Cressy is the pick to triumph in three sets.
