Isner Wins First ATP Title in Auckland!

John Breaks Top 35 at the Heineken Open

Our main man John Isner wins the Heineken Open and breaks into the top 35 (at #33) in the world at the same time. He took out frenchmen Arnaud Clement in a tight three set final, ending in a breaker at 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (2). At one point he trashed a racket, but funnily enough - it was because he missed his bag. Stick to serving balls, not rackets John

John served up an impressive performance, with 22 aces and only 2 double faults, to send Clement reeling back into the locker room.  His move to #33 in the world will give him a seeded spot in the Australian Open next week, where he'll face the challenging Andreas Seppi in the first round.
