Nadal vs. Verdasco: Spanish Southpaws Square Off

Fernando Verdasco once deemed it the best match he had played. Five hours and 14 minutes of no-holds-barred shot-making - two Spaniards trading blows under lights on a heaving Rod Laver Arena, a shootout he would ultimately fall short in against his more decorated countryman, Rafael Nadal, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(2), 6-7(1), 6-4. On Tuesday, the pair will resume their rivalry in the round of 32 at the BNP Paribas Open. The fifth-seeded Nadal has lost three of his past five matches against the No. 29 seed but still leads their overall FedEx ATP Head2Head series 15-3. The five-hour-plus marathon match between the two southpaws came in the semi-finals of the Australian Open eight years ago and at the time was...

My Masters 1000: John Isner

American John Isner has reached the final at three different ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments: the BNP Paribas Open in 2012, the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati in 2013 and the Paris Masters last year. But, as Isner tells ATPWorldTour.com, reaching the final isn't a prerequisite for enjoying a tournament. The 6'10" American has found something to appreciate at most of the Masters 1000 events. Which Masters 1000 host city is your favourite and why? I love them all. Shanghai is fantastic but it's a little bit far. If I'm going to choose one, I'm going to choose Indian Wells. Which is your favourite tournament for the play, the atmosphere? I would go Indian Wells again. I love...
