ATP Montreal Rogers Cup Day 2 Predictions<\/h2>\n

John Isner vs Jordan Thompson<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Head-to-head: Isner leads 2-0<\/p>\n

Both players have come into this match-up with some decent form the past few months. For Thompson, he reached his first ATP Tour final in June at ‘s-Hertogenbosch and backed up that result up with a semifinal showing at Antalya the following tournament.<\/p>\n

Isner, on the other hand, won his fourth Newport title after Wimbledon<\/a>, but has struggled to achieve success in his last two current tournaments, Atlanta and Washington.<\/p>\n

This could be a close one based on current form. The Australian could steal a set from the American to force a deciding set here at the Montreal Rogers Cup, but it should be the former No.8 that gets through in the end.
\nPrediction: Isner in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
