This was one of those matches that just wouldn’t end.  Slated to start at about 7 PM, rain delays caused the match to be mostly delayed until about 10:30 PM.  There was another delay around 11:30.  The first set was taken by Monfils off a late break.  Isner got an early break in the second set, and was able to ride that to win the second set.  The third set saw both players hold serve, despite some close games by Isner to hold serve.  Monfils won the tiebreak late, in a match that could have gone either way.

The match ended about 1:20 AM.  Final score: 6-4. 3-6. 7-6(6).

Monfils will play Radek Stepanek in the finals tomorrow.  Stepanek had an easy win earlier today over Donald Young and is unseeded.

Monfils leads 5-2 in the head-to-head.
