- 2019 Newport Hall of Fame Open (Outdoor/Grass)
- International Tennis Hall of Fame, Newport, USA
- Friday 19th July
John Isner News & Form
Isner started his journey with a three-set victory over Kamil Majchrzak in the round of 16, dropping the second set in a tiebreak. John served very well, hitting 25 aces and winning 66% of his 2nd serve points. Also, Isner saved all five break points while converting his both break chances.
The World No. 15 is coming off a surprising second-round exit at Wimbledon. Isner missed three months before Wimbledon due to an injury, and he has a 17-8 record in 2019. John won the title in Newport in 2017, while he’s 46-24 on the grass court in his career.

Matthew Ebden News & Form
The World No. 110 opened with a three-set victory over Brayden Schnur in the round of 32, while Ebden upset the odds with a straight-set victory over Denis Kudla in the round of 16. Ebden surrendered just four games to Kudla, converting all his five break points and winning whopping 65% of Kudla’s 1st serve points.
Ebden came to Newport with a terrible 2-13 record on the ATP Tour this season. He recorded four straight losses on the grass court in 2019, losing the first-round matches in Halle, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Antalya, and at Wimbledon. Still, Ebden is the former Newport vice-champion from 2017, and he has a 20-24 record on grass in his career.
Isner vs Ebden Head to Head
John Isner won four of his previous five meetings with Matthew Ebden including a couple of matches on the grass court. Isner defeated Ebden in straight sets 6-3 7-6 in the championship match in Newport two years ago.

Our Isner vs Ebden Newport 2019 Hall of Fame Open Betting Tip
Ebden played well in the previous round, but Kudla had a really bad day in the office. The Australian will have a difficult task to beat Isner, especially if John serves at a high level. Considering the unattractive odds on Isner, I suggest you take the first seed to win in straight sets at 8/11 odds with William Hill. The line on the total games seems pretty high, but it could easily go either way, so I would stick with the side bet.
