Isner will now face Canadian and No. 13 seed Milos Raonic Wednesday.
The ninth-seeded Isner is looking to become the first former Georgia men’s tennis player to advance to the finals of a grand slam singles event since Mikael Pernfors made the finals of the French Open in 1986.
Inser, winner of the 2017 BB&T Atlanta Open, will defend his title later this month at Atlantic Station.
