DALLAS (AP) — Reilly Opelka won the longest tiebreaker in ATP Tour history to finish a straight-sets win over John Isner and advance to the final of the inaugural Dallas Open. He will face Jenson Brooksby. The second-seeded Opelka sent a winner down the line for a 24-22 tiebreaker victory in the second set to secure the 7-6 (7), 7-6 (22) win. Isner is the de facto tournament host at the SMU tennis facility about a mile from his house. Brooksby beat Marcos Giron in the other semifinal. It’s the first time since 2004 that all four semifinalists have been Americans.
