HOUSTON -- From Nicolas Almagros vantage point, there was nothing unusual about John Isners serves on Sunday. nike free homme . They were as difficult as always. Isner had seven aces and won the battle of big serves with a 6-3, 7-5 victory in the final of the U.S. Mens Clay Court Championship. "His serve was like normal and his serve today was tough for me," Almagro said. "I want to congratulate him because hes really good player and a good person and he did a good job this week and he won the tournament." Isner won his first tournament of the year and the sixth of his career. He had a record 64 aces for the tournament. He broke the record of 60 set by Pete Sampras in 2002. Almagro leads the ATP Tour with 266 aces. He had five against Isner. Isner had aces of 144 and 142 mph in the 10th game to hold serve in the second set. "Ive always known I could play well on clay," Isner said. "This week is surprising because the first ball I hit on clay since September was Monday when I arrived here from Idaho." Isner also likes the River Oaks Country Club clay. He was runner-up last year. "It suits me well," Isner said. "The court is pretty slow which I like and the balls also pretty light. Thats normally a good recipe for me." The players were on serve in the second set until Almagro was broken in the 11th game at the fourth break point on Isners forehand that landed in front of Almagro and out of his reach. Almagro double-faulted twice in the game. Isner then served for the match in the 12th game. He added his final ace, bringing it to match point. Almagro popped up Isners serve to end the match.

Almagro lost on his favourite surface. All 12 of his tour victories are on clay. Hes got a long flight to Monte Carlo to think about it. "Right now its difficult to say something," Almagro said. "I need to wait a while and well see during the flight because I have a long time to think about the match. Right now Im not happy about the match because I lost." Almagro broke Isner in the third game of the match at the third break point on Isners double fault. After that, Isner faced only one more break point in the match. Isner broke Almagro in the eighth game of the first set for a 5-3 lead. He hit a drop shot winner and slammed a forehand down the line at break point. Almagro played in his 19th career final. He has won 12 titles, all on clay. He dropped to a 17-7 match record on the year and has two semifinal appearances at Buenos Aires and Acapulco. Isner is the first American to appear in an ATP Tour final this year. Isner lost to Juan Monaco 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 in last years final. Almagro lost only one set in his drive to the finals with victories over Gael Monfils of France, seventh-seeded Paolo Lorenzi of Italy and wild-card Rhyne Williams of the United States. Isner had a tougher time getting to the final match with three tiebreaker sets and three, three-set matches in victories over Americans Ryan Harrison and Jack Sock, Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis and defending champion Juan Monaco of Argentina. "I knew it would be a tough adjustment, but I knew I just had to find a way to get through my first match," Isner said. "I did and I got to my second match, which was really close. I really started to play better each and every round." Isner won twice last season at Winston-Salem and Newport. nike air max femme . -- Golden State Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob was in the locker room, smiling and shaking hands with players after watching a three-point performance like nothing the NBA has ever seen. nike free femme .J.

LAS VEGAS -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao are settling a federal defamation case in Las Vegas, clearing a key hurdle to a long-awaited bout between two top fighters whove traded verbal jabs for years but have never met in the ring. Terms of the pretrial agreement cited in documents filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas are confidential, said Malcolm LaVergne, a lawyer representing Floyd Mayweather Jr.s father in the case. LaVergne said documents filed under seal ask U.S. District Judge Larry R. Hicks to dismiss the lawsuit. Documents filed publicly said each side would bear its own attorney fees and costs. "The matter has been resolved," LaVergne said. "Any alleged terms of the resolution would be strictly confidential. Floyd Mayweather Sr. is very happy that this lengthy case has finally come to a conclusion." Pacquiao filed the lawsuit in December 2009 seeking unspecified damages based on allegations that Floyd Mayweather Jr. defamed him by suggesting Pacquiao used performance-enhancing substances. Pacquiao denied Mayweathers claim. In a statement released Tuesday night through the mediator in the case, the Mayweathers said they "wish to make it clear that they never intended to claim that Manny Pacquiao has used or is using any performance enhancing drugs, nor are they aware of any evidence that Manny Pacquiao has used performance enhancing drugs." An attorney for Pacquiao did not immediately respond to messages from The Associated Press. The direction of the case took a turn against Floyd Mayweather Jr. last week, when the judge issued a ruling ordering him to pay about $114,000 in legal fees and costs for avoiding questioning under oath from Pacquiaos lawyers. Hicks faulted Mayweather for failure to comply wwith a court order. nike air max enfants. But he earlier rejected a bid by Pacquiao lawyers Daniel Petrocelli and David Marroso to end the lawsuit with a more severe sanction -- a default judgment for Pacquiao. LaVergne said Tuesday he had no information about whether the court settlement means Mayweather and Pacquiao will meet in the ring. Pacquiaos promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank Inc., declined comment. His spokesman, Lee Samuels, said the company was not involved in the defamation case. Nevada State Athletic Commission chief Keith Kizer said he wasnt aware of any talks between the two camps about scheduling a fight. But Kizer said such a fight could set records for the highest purse, gate and number of cable television paid viewers. A Mayweather-Pacquiao fight might eclipse the Mayweather super welterweight fight against Oscar De La Hoya that drew 17,078 fans to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in May 2007, Kizer said. Paid attendance was $18.4 million. "Based on my dealings with the boxing public and boxing insiders, the proposed Mayweather-Pacquiao fight has as much interest as any fight I can remember in the last 20 years," Kizer said. "I think this would be our first gate over $20 million." Pacquiao, 33, who is also a member of Congress in the Philippines, is 54-4 with two draws in 60 fights. He is due to fight Juan Manuel Marquez on Dec. 8 at the MGM Grand Garden. Mayweather, 35, who goes by the nickname "Money," was serving two months of a three-month sentence in a Las Vegas jail on a domestic battery conviction when he was named by Forbes magazine this summer as the highest-paid athlete in the world for 2011. He is undefeated in 43 fights and was guaranteed $32 million for the May 5 bout during which he defeated Miguel Cotto. ' ' '
