The hype on this guy is that he's an exciting player. all i see is a out
of shape guy with a strong serve and poor movement with a average ground
game.
the guy looks like a lazy slob that only does this part time. i hope he
fades fast. we don't need any more Ivo's.

He is lumbering, sure, but out of shape? Did you see Wimbledon last year? ;)

Regarding that wimbledon match. im not surprised the match went so long.
the tournament put 2 players together that can't return for shit. but
have good serves.
if you look up the return stats on these guy's their at the bottom.
don't be surprised to see this same matchup this year at wimbledon.

I totally agree that Isner is boring on court and off. If you ever see
his interviews, he comes across as almost impossibly inarticulate. One
of the more stupid players out there. Even with his sometimes tortured
English, Rafa is more articulate in English than Isner is, no?

Don't count on it. I seriously expect the Wimbledon PTB's will do
everything they can to prevent that from happening. They don't want the
disruptions that occurred from that match last year to recur this year.

That said, it's a shame that Mahut received the same effect towards his
rankings from that match in losing a 5th set 70-68 and winning 502
points that Dinara Safina did in losing at love in 2 sets to Kim
Clijsters and winning 16 points in an entire match.

If anyone wants to see the match stats again, here they are:

I think he has a deceptive body language. Looks like he's dying a
little bit all the time. Some
psych I think. He doesn't make extra effort. He's too fucking tall.
