ATLANTA: World number nine Mardy Fish saved two match points in recording a 3-6 7-6 6-2 victory over fellow American John Isner to defend his Atlanta Tennis Championship title on Sunday.
In a repeat of last year's final, American No.1 Fish was deep in trouble in the second set tiebreak when he trailed 5-1 and 6-4 but reeled off four straight points to take the match
into a decider at the racquet Club of the South.
The momentum carried over to the third set as Fish broke Isner in the first game and then held to love.
Isner was unable to capitalise on two break points in the sixth game of the decider, then gifted another break to Fish when he double-faulted twice to fall behind 5-2.
Fish closed out the match to win his sixth title and deny Isner a consecutive trophy after he won on the Newport, Rhode Island grasscourts two weeks ago.
The Atlanta tournament is the first in the U.S. Open series which culminates in the Flushing Meadows grand slam.
