Isner Prevails For Fourth Atlanta Title according to : ATP World Tour

Harrison was seeking his second ATP World Tour singles title after winning his maiden crown this February in Memphis (d. Basilashvili). The victory gives Isner his 12th ATP World Tour title, 10 of which have come on U.S. soil. Second seed John Isner reigned supreme once again at the BB&T Atlanta Open, saving set point in both sets to pick up a 7-6(6), 7-6(7) win over fourth seed and fellow American Ryan Harrison. Isner went down set point at 5/6, but erased it with a big serve. Despite the loss, the week in Atlanta was a major boost for the fourth seed, who hadn't reached an ATP World Tour final prior to this season.

Isner has now reached the Atlanta final in seven of the tournament's eight years. By capturing his 12th title, Isner will move up two spots to 18th in the ATP rankings on Monday and surpass Jack Sock as the top-ranked American player. For Isner, who saved set point in both sets, the win marks his second consecutive title since suffering a second-round loss at Wimbledon. The booming serve of Isner, who last week won the Hall of Fame Open in Newport, Rhode Island, proved to be the difference as the 32-year-old American won 85 percent of his first-serve points against his fourth-seeded opponent.

John Isner beats Ryan Harrison to win fourth Atlanta Open title

The 32-year-old Isner won the Hall of Fame Open last week on grass in Newport, Rhode Island. ATLANTA (AP) — 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 (6), 7-6 (7) on Sunday before a friendly crowd at Atlantic Station. That ball, at 40-30 Harrison, was originally called out but, after Harrison challenged a replay revealed that it just caught the line. Trailing 6-7 in the second tiebreaker, Isner whistled consecutive 137 mph aces, and then took the title when Harrison couldn't get to a quick corner shot to his backhand. Isner broke back in the next game when Harrison sent what looked like an easy forehand long.
