The number two seed only needed an hour to get the win against his Australian opponent.
John Isner is into the semi-finals of the Abierto de Los Cabos in Mexico after beating the world number 148 Alex Bolt 6-3, 6-4 in 66 minutes firing 21 aces and winning 79% of his points off the first serve.
“I played a bit better tonight and it was more straightforward forward but I think that’s because I was playing more comfortable out there”.
The beginning of the first set remained on serve and it was the American setting up the first breakpoint of the match with a stunning return forehand winner at 4-3 and got the break to serve out the first set in only 28 minutes.
Isner kept the momentum into the second set and once again got the early break to take a 1-0 lead. At 3-1 he had two chances to go up a double break but the Aussie managed to save both and hold serve.
The world number 39 would serve out the match to set up a semifinal match with Brandon Nakashima on Friday night.
After the match Isner said he’d never played Nakashima but is looking forward to the challenge:
“I’ve played Jordan 3 or 4 times and I have never played Brandon but either way I will be ready for it”.
In the other matches of the day, the number one seed Cameron Norrie dominated Ernesto Escobedo the American qualifier 6-1, 6-1, and in the all-American matchup, Taylor Fritz beat Steve Johnson 6-4, 6-4.
The semi-finals will be played on Friday night and two players will be looking to book their place in the final on Saturday night in Los Cabos.
