I want to see a new winner in the masters circuit, therefore I hope Busta defeats Zverev tonight .

Del Po looked pretty gassed, but Isner served one of his best matches ever.

Hate to say it but if Isner can decimate Chung and DP he's probably winning that final. I too will be rooting for Zverev to win the tourney.

But I thought you liked tall guys with big serves. ;)

I haven't watched a point of this match but let me guess...Delpo mopped around like a sloth on Xanax for a set, then started to hit shots like cannons on the second set but just did not happen today?
Lol! From what I saw that's true to an extent. The only surprising thing was that Isner was running around like an energiser bunny and he's usually a bit of a mopey twat as well. I was very impressed. If he played like that all the time and attacked his forehand like that he would actually be extremely dangerous

Yes, and @Murat Baslamisli, in fairness to JMDP, he was on a streak of 17 matches, and his big body did seem actually to be sore and tired. And yes, Isner was inspired today.

I only take a liking to them when they are the lesser of two evils. I also reserve the right to play the patriotic card with Isner on rare occasions :(

I still don't see why you think PCB was an "evil" if not because he was Spanish, but no matter. I also think I like Isner more than anyone on this forum...and the reasons are pretty much just sentimental. I guess the question of "tall guys/big serves" begs its own thread.

Regardless of the outcome, PCB has found a whole new level on his game.
