The six-feet-10-inch American smashed 19 aces against eight by Greek Tsitsipas and committed less double faults, one against five. However, Tsitsipas won 86% of the points on first serve against 77% by Isner and converted three of the seven break-points he got. Isner, on the other hand, could convert only one out of four break-points. Isner was flawless in the first set as he dropped only five points across six service games. He won three of those six games to love.
While both proceeded evenly-matched to 5-5, the American broke late in the first set which he eventually sealed with an ace.
