NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) ? Two-time defending champion John Isner's run on Newport's grass court came to an end Sunday when he was ousted by No. 4 seed Lleyton Hewitt of Australia 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 in the semifinals of the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships.
It ended 13 straight match wins in Newport for the 28-year old Isner, the highest ranked American at No. 19.
In the other semifinal match played simultaneously on a side court, Nicolas Mahut of France advanced to the final by beating American Michael Russell 6-2, 6-2.
Mahut, a wild-card entrant, needed just 63 minutes Sunday to beat Russell one day after their match was suspended by rain after the third point. Isner and Hewitt never got started Saturday.
Isner's loss spoiled a rematch with Mahut. The pair played the longest match in tennis history when Isner beat Mahut 70-68 in the fifth set at Wimbledon in 2010 ? a match that lasted 11 hours, 5 minutes.
Hewitt won a rematch of last year's Hall of Fame final, won by Isner in straight sets.
Mahut's win began a long day, which includes a semifinal in doubles.
