When do federer and isner play

That included a lunging stab volley for a winner, a half-volley drop shot for another winner, and a nifty chipped return while Federer held the racket like a flag, strings in front of his face.

I don't think he has any weaknesses. He served for both sets, but Isner broke each time by taking advantage of double-faults, and then used his big serve to control the tiebreakers.

Nine of his 10 sets in the tournament have gone to a tiebreaker, and he has won each one. But Auger-Aliassime figured neither set should have gotten to that point. Auger-Aliassime, previously against top 20 opponents, was the youngest male semifinalist in the tournament's year history. He'll jump to a career-best No. But he'll need steadier play at pivotal moments to fulfill his potential as a future Grand Slam champion. Isner lost serve for only the third time in the tournament to fall behind early.

Auger-Aliassime served at but double-faulted into the net three times, including on break point. There was a repeat in the second set. Auger-Aliassime served at , double-faulted once and then hit a swinging volley into the net on break point. That's just very tough to swallow. Each lapse led to a tiebreaker, where Isner has been unbeatable of late after arriving at Miami with a modest record in tiebreakers this year. In the second set, the score was tied at when Isner broke Zverev's serve, going on to win the set But a match-deciding tie-break saw world number 20 Isner win seven points before Zverev was able to get a point on the board, his only point in a tie-break.

Later on Saturday, Rafael Nadal will play his first matches of the weekend when he faces Milos Raonic in the singles, before teaming up with Stefanos Tsitsipas to face Kyrgios and Jack Sock in the doubles.

Day two of the three-day tournament awards two points per win, with the first team to reach 13 points declared the winner. The Laver Cup is into its third year but this is the first time the tournament is an officially sanctioned ATP Tour event. The previous tournaments in Prague and Chicago took place on an exhibition basis.
