ISNER WINS IN ATLANTA

-

John Isner rode an overpoweri­ng service game to his fourth Atlanta Open title and second consecutiv­e ATP tournament, beating fellow American Ryan

Harrison 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (9-7) on Sunday at Atlantic Station. Having won eight consecutiv­e matches all in straight sets since bowing out in the second round at Wimbledon this month, the second-seeded former University of Georgia star said he thoroughly enjoys playing in Atlanta, where he’s made the finals in seven of the eight tournament­s. He won here in 2013, 2014 and 2015 and is 27-4 on the courts near his alma mater. The 32-yearold won the Hall of Fame Open last week on grass in Newport, R.I.
