John Isner defeated Cristian Garin,defending champion, 46 63 64 and will play Reilly Opelka in the final at Houston tomorrow....( I think I will skip the battle of the servers tomorrow).

Hey.... Trees need love too.

Reilly Opelka defeated John Isner 63 76(7) to win the title.

In fairness, I think Opelka is perhaps the most interesting of the Tall Trees. Certainly he is off the court.

I have no idea what kind of person Opelka is off the court,though he seems a likeable player on the court.

The younger tree has the eldest's tree number.

David Goffin won his 6th ATP Tour title today in Marrakech. Probably one of the most surprising winners of the year so far. I did not expect for Goffin to win a title.

This is as close to a compliment as I’m giving the Isner Redwood. He turns 37 in 2 weeks and is still in the top 25 , this evergreen has been top 25 since 2010, a long lived tall tree indeed.

Can’t think of any other very tall (6’-10”) Sequoia sempervirens that hasn’t toppled over.

By the time he got this close, I was less surprised. The guy was once #7 in the world. I guess he's had a lot of injuries, but he has a been climbing back. This win moves him back up 27 places to #47, according to live rankings. He's 31, so I don't expect the world of him, but he could have a decent next few years, if he can stay healthy.

He also got married last year. Which might have contributed to lack of focus or training.

Somehow I suspect you're just teasing me with this. He's been with the woman for 10 years. How distracted could he have been? What with the wedding planning and all?

Last year it was ankle, then knee. And he's had some terrible luck injuries along the way, too.

Hey, we don't know how involved he was w/ the planning. Not every man just shows up when told.

Maybe wedding planning is his exit strategy.

I meant to respond to this yesterday. Opelka is a cool dude! He collects modern art. He's actually sponsored by an art gallery. And he reads books. He and Serena have been spotted at art galleries together. And he's more than a serve-bot on court. I like him.

Well I love Art and have visited galleries all around the world...he gets my vote
