Isner rises up
A special tournament for Isner
Isner came into 2018 Miami Open with a 1-6 win record and the player himself acknowledged how poorly he was playing.
Post his win, Isner said in disbelief that he could not have scripted this, given how he was playing.
Beating Juan Martin del Potro in semi-final and now Zverev in the final, were the major highlights of Isner's Miami Open title victory.
