Miami (AFP)
Sebastian Korda kept his nerve to topple second-seeded John Isner 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 on Monday and reach the semi-finals of the ATP Delray Beach Open in Delray Beach, Florida.
Korda, ranked 119th in the world, was serving for the match when he fell behind 0-40 against his big-serving compatriot.
But the former junior world number one battled back to book his first ATP semi-final in one hour and 51 minutes. I was super-happy with how I played that whole game, Korda said of the clincher. I mean, he played an incredible first three points.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) John Isner says he’ll skip the Australian Open because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Isner disclosed his decision Monday night after losing to fellow American Sebastian Korda in the quarterfinals of the Delray Beach Open.
Isner, 35, has two young children and said he wanted his family to travel together to “make it as much fun as possible on the road . because I won’t be playing tennis forever.” But that’s not possible because of the virus, he said, and going to Australia this year would have meant too much time away from his family.
