John Isner vs Thiago Monteiro: Head-To-Head
There is only one prior encounter between these two and it happened last year in the Australian Open. At the time, Isner needed four tiebreaks to beat his rival in a hard-fought match. He ended up winning 6-7(5), 7-6 (4), 7-6(7), 7-6(5) to advance to the second round of the first Grand Slam of the 2020 season.
Isner has been involved in some controversies after he showed his disagreement with the use of masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic that affected the world of sports. But, that doesn’t mean he won’t be a fan favorite for this tournament. In fact, he’s considered one of the biggest candidates to win it all. However, the long time away from the court could be a problem for him.
Monteiro is one of the new faces of Brazilian tennis and he’s ready to make a statement against the best American tennis at this very moment. Monteiro will need to put better numbers than he put against Belluci but he can win this game if everything plays in his favor.
