Last report on John Isner, I promise.
The American, seeded 23rd in the Wimbledon tournament, lost today to Thiemo de Bakker, an unranked player. The match lasted 75 minutes which compared to his last match, was a blink of the eye.
Isner had difficulty during the match requiring a trainere which can only spell bad news. Isner never looked like he had his momentum going.
And to be honest, I expected this. After such an effort by the 25-year-old North Carolinan to defeat Frenchman Nicolas Mahut, also unranked, he was probably out of gas, physically and mentally.
Despite being knocked out of the tournament, Isner has won the respect of many of his peers and the world audience. And he has the longest Tennis Match ever played, some are even calling it the Greatest, to call his own.
