Isner will be hoping to continue the string of upsets at this tournament and he has the game to do some serious damage against Nadal.
One of the biggest servers on tour, Isner’s game has been right on the money all year helping him win the Auckland title and make another ATP final in Memphis. He has continued that streak into this tournament, defeating the in form Sam Querrey 7-6, 6-4 in the last round.
Although they have never played before, both men know what they will be getting. Isner’s game is all out attack and he will not be holding back. Nadal is one of the best returners in the game but in Indian Wells the balls fly fast through the desert air, making the pace and bounce Isner gets off his serve, very difficult to deal with.
Nadal will be looking to pin Isner on the baseline, keep him away from the net and run him ragged. For a guy at 6’9 Isner moves very well but it is still a slight weakness.
It should be a close match, probably decided in tiebreaks. Nadal’s odds are as short as ever and our recommendation is that Isner has a great chance of the upset so he’s worth backing at 10/3 with bet365.
