With an expected hold rate of something in the region of 90% for John Isner, and his inability to do much against a more than competent serve from Juan Martin del Potro, this match could well be decided via a few breakers, and a look back through John Isner's recent clay games suggests that backing the first set tie break could be a wise approach at odds-against in this match.

Isner has played 11 matches in the clay season so far this campaign, taking his opponent to a first set breaker in no fewer than eight of those. Last season it was seven out of 11, and the year before that it was 7 from 10.
Only one firm have shown so far on the market, but the 6/5 available is more than acceptable in this one, which should surely be odds-on at least.
