American John Isner, 32-year-old won over emerging German star Alexander “Sascha” Zverev 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 6-4 on Sunday, April 1st. No April fool. John played very well. He was extremely pleased with this outcome. Mr. Isner now occupies the number nine slot in men’s singles in the world. Sasha has played with and against John for quite some time. Quite an outcome for the last time that they will play in Key Biscayne. Next year, they move to new digs in Miami.
On the women’s side in singles, Sloan Stephens won [13] (USA) d [6] against J. Ostapenko (LAT) 76(5) 61. Sloan played great in the Open. Anticipating really well throughout the tournament. The tournament champion Sloan Stephens walked away with $1,100,000. Pretty good day job.
Americans also dominated in doubles. Twins Mike and Bob Bryan won the men’s title, and Coco Vandeweghe paired with Australian Ashleigh Barty to win women’s doubles. Go USA 🇺🇸.
