KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — John Isner punctuated his unexpected run to the Miami Open title with a surprising display of agility on Sunday, dancing across the court while basking in a breakthrough.
The 6-foot-10-inch Isner looked twice as tall skipping about with a grin that seemed as bright as the Florida sunshine. He had just won the biggest title of his 14-year career, holding every service game and rallying past Alexander Zverev, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-4.
Isner, who will turn 33 this month, had been 0-3 in ATP Masters 1000 finals.
“You can’t replicate moments like this,” Isner said during the trophy ceremony.
