Hall Of Fame Open Saw an amazing turn of events as Isner once again in his career faced a marathon match. Not exactly the same as it was in Wimbledon but a close one for a 250 ATP tournament. Fans were kept on the edge of their seat for the entire match and it was an exciting one. It has easily become the match of the tournament. Credit to B.Bonzi for such an amazing performance, even though he was on the losing side. It wasn’t possible if it was not Bonzi on the other side of the net. He gave the performance of his life and the fans acknowledged it. They got their money’s worth. Rhode Island simply felt ecstatic after such a match. Even better for the fans, as the American came out as the winner in the end.

However, it was an upsetting day for the #1 Felix, who crashed out of the tournament after a very intense battle. The game between Felix and J. Kubler was even suspended for a while at such an important juncture in the match. Kubler was at an advantage in the final set when the match was suspended. The game resumed and Kubler did not let go of the advantage he had. Felix even managed to take the final set to the tie-break but eventually lost the game. It is a big disappointment for the top seed after having a disastrous Wimbledon. Tony Nadal will have to work with him more to improve his overall game and give him the mental boost he needs.
