The whole world is talking about John Isner now. He defeated #1 seeded yesterday, he was able to reach finals at the ATP-1000 tournament in both singles and doubles. It is not a usual day when someone plays two final matches in one evening. It is hard to imagine Isner's feelings when he faces singles final against Federer and some minutes later he plays doubles final against Nadal. You should be very strong, John. But we know you are one of the best tennis fighters ever. Anyway, the current result is absolutely amazing itself. Yesterday after his win Isner said: "Not many people can say they've ever beaten the #1 player in the world. I'll always be able to say that. I'm just going to keep on riding this wave I'm on and see how far it can take me." Yes, we believe John is able to beat even the great champion Federer. He made this earlier this year.
The one thing is very clear - today we will see an amazing tennis performance, taking into the consideration Federer has an impressive record 17-1 on hard surface. He lost only to Nadal, but won their rematch with a great confidence yesterday. There is no need to explain what a high level of tennis Federer can show in his best form, it seems this is just this kind of a moment. So, most fans will understand if John is not be able to make one more incredible win. But we hope for the best and pick Isner to win with +3.5 spread on games, especially knowing that Federer does not like to play against big servers.
Pick: John Isner +3.5 spread

Of course I wish John had won this match against Federer, but after all he managed to enter top 10 and it's great. Now he needs to beat more high-ranked players to continue his advancement over the ATP list. I believe he can raise his rankings by 2-3 positions in the near future.
