Kei Nishikori beats John Isner in the Washington Open final.
Kei Nishikori came from a set down to beat big-serving American John Isner 4-6 6-4 6-4 in the Washington Open final.

Second-seeded Nishikori, the runner-up at the US Open last year, weathered 18 aces from 6’10” Isner, who lost his third final in Washington after previous defeats to Andy Roddick and Juan Martin Del Potro.

For the third time in five matches, Nishikori dropped the opening set before turning things around to win in three at the US capital's combined ATP and WTA hardcourt event, a warm-up for Flushing Meadows which starts in three weeks.
