Isner is ranked 26th and the 3rd seed for the Dallas Open.

Kevin Anderson Form

Kevin Anderson won his first match of the year when he blasted 21 aces to defeat Sam Querrey 6-4 6-4 in his opening round match at the Dallas Open.

Before that, he had lost both his opening-round matches of 2022, including at the Australian Open.

Anderson has hit 41 aces in the three tennis matches he has played this season to go with the 228 he struck in 2021 on the hardcourt surface.

Against Querrey, the South African landed 72% of his first serves in play, compared to his average of 65% last season and won 88% of his first-serve points compared to 78%.

Anderson won 18% 1st serve return points, 31% return points and 20% return games against Querrey compared to 20% first-serve return points, 30% return points and 7% return games last season.

Anderson has not defeated Isner on the hard courts since 2012 and will need to repeat his opening round match performance to have a chance to make the quarter-finals in Dallas.

John Isner Form

John Isner has played five matches this year and has only a single victory to his name to go with four losses.

Isner had a good year on the hard courts last season, winning 18 matches and losing eight. He won the Atlanta Open and made the semi-finals at the ATP Masters 1000 in Canada.

The 36-year-old is known for his big serve, and he backed that up with 494 aces in 26 matches in 2021. He has already fired down 122 aces in five tennis matches this season.

The American lands 68% of his first serves in play, winning 80% of his 1st-serve points and 55% of his 2nd serve points for 2022. These are almost identical to his statistics for 2021.

Isner wins 18% 1st serve return points and 25% return points when receiving, but only can win 6% of all return games on the hard courts this season. Last season, he won 9% of all return games, so he needs to improve in that area.

Isner has beaten Anderson five games on the trot on the hardcourt surface and looks set to make it six and progress to the quarter-finals.
