KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP)
— John Isner punctuated
his unexpected run to the
Miami Open title with a
surprising display of agility,
dancing across the court
while basking in a break-
through.
The 6-foot-10 Isner looked
twice as tall skipping about
with a grin brighter than
the Florida sunshine. He
had just won the biggest
title of his 14-year career,
holding every service
game and rallying past Al-
exander Zverev 6-7 (4), 6-4,
6-4 on Sunday.
Isner, who turns 33 this
month, previously had
been 0-3 in ATP Masters
1000 finals.
"You can't replicate mo- Lindberg wins ANA Inspiration on 8th extra hole
ments like this," Isner said
during the trophy cere-
mony. “I’m toward the lat-
ter part of my career; this Pernilla Lindberg, of Sweden, pumps her fist after sinking a 30-foot birdie putt on the 10th hole during a playoff round to win the
is the best moment of my LPGA Tour ANA Inspiration golf tournament over Inbee Park at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif., Monday, April
career.” 2, 2018.
