Here's a look at the results from Day 4 of the Atlanta Open:


John Isner survives Ben Shelton scare

Second seed John Isner booked his place in the quarterfinals of the Atlanta Open, but was given a tough fight by compatriot Ben Shelton.

The first set was tightly contested and the 37-year-old had to save a set point to take it to a tie-break. Isner eventually managed to win the tie-break 10-8. However, Shelton won the second set 6-4 to force a decider.

Once again, a tie-break would determine the outcome and this time, Isner won it 7-3 to book his place in the quarterfinals.


Alex de Minaur beats James Duckworth to set up quarterfinal clash against Adrian Mannarino

Third seed Alex de Minaur booked his place in the quarterfinals with a straight-sets win over compatriot James Duckworth.

Both players did well in the first set and broke each other once before the 23-year-old made the decisive break in the ninth game. De Minaur then held his serve to take the first set 6-4.

The World No. 30 broke Duckworth in the first game of the second set and it proved instrumental as there were no further breaks of serve. After beating his compatriot, de Minaur will face Frenchman Adrian Mannarino for a place in the semifinals.
