John Isner Chats with Andy Roddick: Serving Aces and Sharing Laughs
John Isner: Hey Andy, it’s great to have you here. What’s going on in the world of the retired legends?
Andy Roddick: (Laughs) Hey John! Well, less tennis, more golf, and a lot more family time. How about you? Still giving those young guys a hard time on the tour?
John Isner: You know me. I’m still out there serving up those big aces. Speaking of which, ever miss the days of bombing down that serve at 140 mph?
Andy Roddick: Absolutely! There’s no better feeling. But my back definitely doesn’t miss it. (Grins)
John Isner: (Laughs) True, true. Hey, remember our marathon match at the US Open? Four tiebreakers, man. I think we both set a record for the least movement in a tennis match.
Andy Roddick: Oh, I remember! My legs still cringe at the thought of it. But those types of matches are what make tennis so epic, kind of like your legendary match at Wimbledon. How did you even survive that? 11 hours and 5 minutes!
John Isner: (Smiling) A lot of protein bars and sheer willpower. And probably a bit of insanity! But it’s those grueling moments that stay with you forever.
Andy Roddick: No doubt. Speaking of moments, what’s been the most surreal part of your career so far?
John Isner: Honestly, winning the Miami Open was huge for me. But the consistent support from fans everywhere I go, that always blows my mind. It’s humbling and motivating at the same time.
Andy Roddick: I hear you. The tennis community really is something special. So, what’s next for you? Any big plans post-tennis?
John Isner: Well, I’m planning to stick around the sport, maybe some coaching or mentoring. And who knows, I might finally get good at golf! (Winks) But seriously, focusing on family and enjoying the ride ahead.
Andy Roddick: Sounds like a solid plan. Whatever you do, I know you’ll be great at it. Here’s to a few more tiebreaker battles and lots of aces!
John Isner: Cheers to that, Andy! And thanks for the chat, it’s always great catching up.
The camaraderie between these two tennis giants is evident, with memories and laughter flowing as effortlessly as their serves once did. Until their next match-up, whether on the courts or the golf course, fans can reminisce about the golden moments these players have given to the sport.
