Interesting one. Isner and Federer should be full of confidence, and rightly so. This is a return match and an exciting rematch for the Davis Cup tie in Switzerland, which Isner won in hugely impressive style. I expect a close match that hinges on a few points with Roger finding a way to get it done. Isner certainly has his chances.

My money is on Fed, but I expect Isner to give him a run for his money.

I think Isner will take a set, probably with a break of serve, too. I just hope the conditions are better than they were today.

Being a big federer fan, i must say this is a tough call, Isner is going to be riding a huge confidence train into the final having beat federer ON CLAY IN SWITZERLAND, and then being able to beat Djokovic. Honestly this one is a tough one to call but with intangibles put in (American Hard court Tourney) im going to have to say Isner has to win in 2 sets, if not Federer is going to take it in 3

I think Isner will take it in 3. Hard to say who is going to win but Feds is more popular.

Isner's first masters final, Federer full of confidence. Federer hasn't won this tournament in SIX YEARS. Wants it badly. Also sees the opportunity to build points and take back Numero Uno

No chance . Isner already beat him on clay.

Isner is not known for his endurance. He played a long match against Djokovic and is playing the Dubs final. Isner is going to have fun trying to beat an on-form Federer in his first MS1000 final on tired legs.

Just stating facts. Nadal already beat Federer on outdoor hard, how did that work out?

I don't get your point?

Isners serve may be the best on the tour. Clay slows it down that's why the Swiss chose to play on clay. They thought they had a better chance winning on clay.

If Isner beat fed on clay it stands to reason isner has an even better chance on hard.

The speed helps isner more.

I think isner has zero problems with endurance in a best of three on a hard court.

Isner beating Federer on a different surface, before Federer's recent run on hard courts mind you, has little if any bearing on this match.

Lest we forget, Mardy Fish commented that the surface in Switzerland was horrible and that it would be incredibly difficult to return a serve like John Isner's on it. You're logic is lacking and your conclusion is unwarranted.

I think Isner will win - although he is tough to watch - looks gawky with the mouth open and tongue sticking out on every point.

Djoker is the greatest returner I have ever seen in my life .

I'm picking Isner.
