NEWPORT, R.I. -- Two-time defending champ John Isner defeated fellow American Ryan Harrison 7-6 (0), 6-2 on Monday in the opening round of the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships. The 6-foot-9 Isner rode his big serve to win his 11th straight match on Newports grass courts. He was not broken in the match that lasted 1 hour, 20 minutes, taking control by blanking Harrison in the tiebreaker. Isner, seeded second, broke in the third and seventh games of the second set before Harrison hit a backhand return long on the matchs final point. The 28-year old Isner showed no effects from a left knee injury that forced him to retire from his second-round match at Wimbledon. In winning the 2012 title in Newport, Isner held serve in 57 of the 58 games he played. It was a similar formula on Monday. "Just getting the first one out of the way is critical for me," he said. "I was happy how I played in the second set, took care of my serve well. I felt like I was in a lot of his service games, especially in that second set." When it was over, Isner let out a loud "Yes!" as Harrisons shot sailed long under sun-drenched skies with temperatures in the low 80s with a slight breeze. "I remember last year in my first round here, I won 6-4 in the third," said Isner, ranked 19th overall entering the week. " Its always a tough match. Playing Ryan, I beat him here in the semifinals last year. Hes a good grass-court player and hes a friend of mine. But hes someone I dont want to lose to. Its important to win those matches like that. Im one of the top ranked Americans and I want to continue to stay way for as long as I can, and beating guys like Ryan helps." Top seed Sam Querrey is slated to face fellow-American Tim Smyczek is his first-round match on Tuesday. In the most interesting match of the day, Polands Michal Przysiezny beat 15-year old American Stefan Kozlov, who was making his ATP debut, 6-3, 6-7 (9), 6-4 in a match that lasted nearly 2 1/2 hours. Kozlov, who lives in the Miami-area, broke to go up 4-3 in the third before calling for the trainer, who worked on his right hip. "I slipped in the first set on my hip and it kind of got progressively worse," Kozlov said. The match ended with the youngster limping before falling to the ground as he made his way to the net. He sat in his chair for a while with a towel over his head before slowly walking off the court. "I was hanging in there and started cramping," he said. "Its kind of tough to play when youre cramping. Now I know I could actually win. I couldnt believe I could win a set." The tournament is held in conjunction with induction ceremonies into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Martina Hingis leads the 2013 class that will be enshrined on Saturday before the semifinals.

The Brazilian goalkeeper signed a loan deal with the Major League Soccer club on Friday as he looks to get playing time ahead of this summers World Cup in his home country. Manly coach Trent Barrett fired up at the controversial decision to penalise Martin Taupau in Fridays loss to Parramatta that has all but ended a spot in the finals.The Sea Eagles were leading 9-8 late in the game when referee Matt Cecchin ruled a knock-on by the Eels, however overturned his decision after a sideline official reported an off-the-ball incident with Taupau.Cecchin awarded a penalty to the Eels, gifting goalkicker Michael Gordon a 78th-minute match-winning shot that snapped Manlys five-game winning streak and left them mired in 11th spot with four games to go.The touchie said late contact or shoulder charge, one of them. It was pretty disappointing for the call to get overturned and cost us the game, stand-in skipper Jake Trbojevic said.A livid Barrett was up in arms over the call.You see a thousand of them every week. It wasnt high, it wasnt a shoulder charge, he said.The two referees saw it okay. To get a call from a touch judge thatll decide a game and possibly our hopes of making the semis, is hard to take. Youd hate to see a grand final decided like that.The Sea Eagless had everything to play for at Pirtek Stadium against an Eels side attempting to save face over a horror season that included being stripped of 12 points for salary cap cheating.ddddddddddddowever Manly failed to continue its form of recent weeks and were held out by a stubborn Eels defence.Yeah, we dropped a lot of footy. But you put yourself in a position to win, to have an official decide it like that (is disappointing), Barrett said.The loss means the Sea Eagles remain two points behind the Wests Tigers, Penrith and the 8th-placed Warriors, all of whom have yet to play this weekend.Barrett conceded Manly must now win their remaining four games, against Canterbury (away), Melbourne (home), Canberra (home) and Penrith (away) to have any hope of reaching the finals.We gotta have to win next week against the Dogs and then weve got two home games. So massive focus on that Dogs game and get a big crowd back at Brookie into Melbourne and Canberra, Barrett said. ' ' '
