John Isner vs Benjamin Bonzi prediction
Isner will enter the match as the favorite to win given his experience and quality on grass. However, Bonzi should not be written off as he has won eight out of 11 matches on the surface this season.
Isner's most dangerous weapon is his powerful serve and breaking him in his service games will be hard for the Frenchman. Bonzi is a pretty good server himself, having served 18 aces in Newport so far. He also has a strong forehand and is very agile on the court.
While the Frenchman is capable of giving Isner a tough fight, the latter looks in good touch and will also have the crowd on his side, which should help him overcome Bonzi and reach the semifinals.
Pick: Isner to win in three sets.
