Greg Cote

John Isner, this is very exciting.

We have not gotten to speak to you before, but we have spoken of you for a long time because your serve is the most majestic thing that any of us have ever seen in tennis.

So thank you for joining us.

We appreciate it.

It feels like, I don't know if we've talked to you about this or if I've read about this because I thank you for joining us, as I said.

Yeah, thanks for having me.

Yeah, this is a long one.

Spit it out.

Your physical advantages, is there a way that physics allows you to serve better than anyone else in the sport?

I should mention that he's won 16 ATP Tour singles titles.

He's the tallest top 10 player in history.

Your history, when did you know you were going to do this as a career?

Do players or fans get mad at how you play tennis because you're so singularly excellent at aces?

twitter spaces and stuff like that so it's really not in real life i think at tournaments fans are um are much nicer i should tell the folks that we're in the middle of the u.s open here the first round and it's been interesting so far isner's joining us from the u.s open and have you seen what happened with medvedev i know we have hotheads throughout the sport but where you've got a match point and the photographer seemed to feel really bad about what happened yeah

Your thoughts on what happened there where Medvedev is just going crazy?

You played 17 years.

So can you explain to us physically what it is that Djokovic is doing, having had a career longer than 17 years?

What is this?

Do people even understand what this sport does to the body?

How is he different from you in terms of being obsessive, compulsive about taking care of himself?
