Isner Beats Ailing Baghdatis to Win Atlanta Title Again

(Reuters) - Top seed John Isner cruised to his third consecutive Atlanta Open title when he beat hobbled Marcos Baghdatis in straight sets in the final on Sunday.

Isner took less than an hour to dispose of Cypriot Baghdatis 6-3 6-3 on a hot afternoon on the outdoor hardcourt.

The tall American used his biggest weapon, dropping just three points on serve, to secure his 10th ATP title.

It was hardly a fair fight, though, because Baghdatis's movement was hampered from the start by what appeared to be an injured right leg and he got slower as the match progressed.
