Tennis’ contemporary Twin Towers will square off in the final of Houston’s ATP Tour...
John Isner, of the USA, lines up for a forehand shot in the men’s singles semifinal of the Fayez Sarofim & Co. U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships at River Oaks Country Club, Saturday, Apr 9, 2022, in Houston.Back in the day, Houston was home to basketball’s Twin Towers, Hakeem Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson.
While Kyrgios couldn’t advance, it was still a very good day for Australian tennis with a pair of Aussies, Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell, claiming their first ATP doubles title with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over the Serbian twins Ivan and Matej Sabanov.
At 33, Agassi was the oldest Clay Courts champion of the Open Era when he put the 20-year-old Roddick in his place. Isner turns 37 on April 26.. Isner has set both single match — 38 against his buddy Steve Johnson in the second round — and tournament — 71 — ace records this week. Garin was on the receiving end of 17 more, although Opelka would get the better of him in the semis, ripping 21 past Krygios as he, pardon the pun, aced a third successive test of his sore right shoulder.
