They played each other in Cincinnati in 2020. Tsitsipas defeated Isner with a score of 7-6, 7-6. Given the way John has played in previous matches here, we doubt a confident victory for Stef.
Most of the matches between Tsitsipas and Isner turned out to be long. There’s nothing surprising about that. John has a very strong serve, after all. Even Stef can’t always find a counterplay against this component of the game. Since Cincinnati has a fast court, we don’t think anything will change much today.
Tsitsipas has confidently overcome the previous rounds, so far without dropping a single set.
In the first match, Stefanos defeated Filip Krajinovic (6-3, 6-4). His opponent had not had a single break point.
In the second round, Stef easily took on Diego Schwartzman (6-3, 6-3). Diego was intermittently successful on the receiving end, but Tsitsipas made the most of five break points.
Tsitsipas has won 44 matches so far this season and shares first place with Carlos Alcaraz in this regard.
Tsitsipas has won 3 of his last 5 Masters quarter-finals on hard courts.
Isner, meanwhile, reached the quarter-finals in Cincinnati for the third time in his career. He reached the final here in the 2013 season and the semi-finals four years later.
John had three incredibly exhausting matches this week. In all cases, John defeated his opponents in the third set.
Isner defeated Benjamin Bonzi (6-7, 6-3, 7-6), Hubert Hurkacz (7-6, 6-7, 6-2) and Sebastian Korda (7-6, 1-6, 7-6).
Interestingly, there were two tie-breaks in each match. In doing so, Isner has now completed a total of 69 aces.
Isner has lost 4 times in his last 5 matches against the top 10.
