ATLANTA, July 24 (UPI) -- No. 2 seed John Isner will face off against fellow American Mardy Fish for the Atlanta Tennis Championships title after both won semifinals Saturday.
Isner, who played the longest match in tennis history at Wimbledon this year, racked up a 6-3, 6-7 (7-9), 6-3 victory over Kevin Anderson.
Isner blew a match point in the second set at 7-6 in the tie-breaker, but later broke Anderson's serve at 4-3 in the third set to ensure the victory.
Fish, meanwhile, upset top-seeded Andy Roddick 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 to reach Sunday's final against Isner. Fish hadn't beaten Roddick since 2003, dropping nine straight match-ups against him.
Fish will be seeking for his fifth career title and second this year against Isner.
