Roger Federer and John Isner keep tennis' young prodigies in their place

The Telegraph  

It might seem ironic that after a Miami fortnight that has proved the virtues of the emerging generation, Sunday’s men’s final will bring together a pair of thirtysomethings: John Isner and Roger Federer. Isner, 33, is the defending champion in Miami – even if he won last year’s event in the very different surroundings of Crandon Park – while Federer, 37, first lifted this title all the way back in 2005. Denis Shapovalov confirmed the talent he had announced with a similar run at 2017’s Rogers Cup in Montreal, while Felix Auger-Aliassime – who came through qualifying – was appearing in the headlines for the first time, though surely not the last. On Friday, his afternoon semi-final against Isner had been considerably more dramatic than Federer’s evening thumping of Shapovalov.
