2019 ATP Acapulco SF: [3] John Isner vs. Nick Kyrgios

[Enceladus]

ATP H2H: 2-2 tied
H2H on HC: 2-1 for Kyrgios
Last mutual match: 2017 Davis Cup QF, Kyrgios won 7-5, 7-6(5), 7-6(5)

Will reach Nick the first final participation since Brisbane 2018, or does Big John stop him?

 

[heninfan99]

Kyrios will get Isnerized

 

[The Green Mile]

Nick, 6-7 7-6 7-6, saves 5 MPs, 3 on return.

Would love to see a Kyrgios - Zverev final

Something to note: of the 6 sets Kyrgios has won over Isner, 5 have been tiebreakers. So Kyrgios can't drop serve if he wants a good chance to win this one.

Tennis is counting on you.

Good luck Mate,

[BeatlesFan]

Why are these screeching women still playing? Get Nick out there!

Umpire A. TOURTE has arrived on-court.
Players are currently warming up. Nick Kyrgios has won the toss and has chosen to receive.

Cheers

Nick on court!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Pure servebotting, how terribly boring.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Pure servebotting, how terribly boring.

Not boring enough for you not to watch, apparently.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Nick tries the SABN on Isner's first serve. Ballsy...

 

[BeatlesFan]

Pure servebotting, how terribly boring.

Nick's the most exciting player to watch when he focuses. He is ANYTHING but "boring."

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Not boring enough for you not to watch, apparently.

I tuned in cause I wanted some fiery drama, so far i've seen ace after ace after unreturnable serve. How awful is this for tennis.

You're a small-minded person.

 

[FRV]

Kyrgios almost looks like someone pressed the fast forward button when he's about to enter his service motion.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Another SABN attempt by Nick on Isner's first serve. Hilarious.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Kyrgios almost looks like someone pressed the fast forward button when he's about to enter his service motion.

It's a tremendous relief to see someone get down to business and not endlessly towel off or take 25 seconds between each serve. Nick doesn't mess around.

 

[augustobt]

Who the f tries to SABR JOHN ISNER?

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Who the f tries to SABR JOHN ISNER?

That actually makes sense I think (lol), Isner's 1st serve is going to be untouchable anyway, Nick must be hoping to annoy Isner into missing a couple more 1st serves to Nick's advantage.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

You're a small-minded person.

Even the crowd looks bored, think they just showed a sleeping adult. I mean I get it, all it is is big serve after big serve. Sad

Casual mugs.
Big serve is an enormously satisfying shot.

 

[augustobt]

Please, Nick, don't ruin the K vs Z i've been waiting for.

 

[The Green Mile]

Them casual open stance backhand DTLs though....

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

7-6 6-7 7-6 looming...

 

[augustobt]

Isner changed his shirt and I just noticed now

 

[Tennis_dude101]

Break point for NK!

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Moonballgios, hahaha.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Break him, Nick!

 

[BeatlesFan]

The crowd needs to STFU. So rude.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Isner with so many errors and Kyrgios breaks lol.

Crowd boos Kyrgios and he puts his thumbs up LMAO.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

This crowd is trash. Booing anything and everything Kyrgios does. Hope he sticks it to the crowd.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Nick breaks the beast. YEAH!

 

[The Green Mile]

Hope Nicky wins the title, speech would be pretty interesting

 

[Tennis_dude101]

NK gets the break, Isner was tempted to break his racquet but thought better of it

 

[jacob22]

Never seen a thumb feel so much like a middle finger

 

[3fees]

Isner broken Kyrgios servin for 1st set

Cheers

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Lel. Kyrgios inciting crowd to boo him so he is better motivated, bwahahaha.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Jizzner crapped up that break tbh, so many schyt shots.

 

[stringertom]

Hope Nicky wins the title, speech would be pretty interesting

Will he don the sombrero after the anti-bloke backlash from sullen Nadalians?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Nick takes the first.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Nick mocking the vicious and clueless crowd while taking the first set.

 

[The Green Mile]

Inciting the crowd more lol, similar to Novak at times.

 

[stringertom]

First set to the Ozbot, 7-5. 11 aces, 0 DFs vs Isner’s 7:4 ratio.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Hope Nicky wins the title, speech would be pretty interesting

Not to mention beating Zverev, which is always a good thing.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

I love that Nick missed a dropper and then tried an identical one on the next point (this time with success). Classic Nick, doesn't care about misses.

 

[Vanhalen]

Nick is hilarious! He’s giving it right back to the crowd! I love it!!!!

 

[Rogfan]

Did I hear it wrong? Did the crowd boo Nick for winning the first set? And what a winner to take the set too and he got a boo??

 

[The Green Mile]

Not to mention beating Zverev, which is always a good thing.

They usually deliver in one-upmanship which is pretty fun, I've enjoyed most of their matches...

 

[Vanhalen]

Crowd sucks
