Hats off to John, must have sucked to lose a seven hour match, but still he was really professional and nice during this interview, really classy from him. That was an insane match, huge respect for both of them. And well, being a Federer fan, hope Kevin wins the tournament now and make that Fed defeat worth it 😂
I thought he had a very good shot at going all the way. I feel bad for him but not as bad as I felt for Roddick after he lost his 3rd Wimbledon final to Federer.
Tie break in last set is probably a good sensible decision but from a viewers point of view and entertainment, I personally love the longer it goes on... but massive respect to them being out there all them hours !
What a stupid question at 6:45, what did she want him to say? "Oh sure, my president is a big fan of me" And why would it be relevant if the answer was yes or no?
Now Kevin Anderson is going to tire quickly in the final. Because he played almost 7 hours. Wimbledon has no choice but to keep up with the times and go with tie Breakers in each set. I think everybody wins with that. Break with tradition. For the good of the game.
Ridiculous and archaic ruling - there came a point when it stopped being enjoyable for the viewer - even McEnroe was bored - calling for a rule change. It then affects Nadal & Djokovic who have to play an outdoor grass court semi-final indoors and not able to finish. As he said at 12 -12 go to a Championship tiebreak and players feel that's fair, scheduling isn't affected.
Roger said after the rule change it don't really bother me it it was it is. Little did he know he'd okay in the first 5th set tie breaker ever at wimbledon
Tie breaker, please. I don't see the point anymore. Drains the players too and takes away from their ability to play at the highest level when their next game comes around. Also, viewership?? 12 all sounds reasonable enough.
I wanted John to win, but I get the feeling he is more of a 'poor sport' than Kevin is. I don't think John would have felt any sorrow for Kevin if Kevin had lost.
Christopher Dones u think anyone wants to be out there at 12-12 in a 5th set after 4 extremely close and long other sets? No, ask this question to any other guy on tour and they will say the same answer John gives
Why couldn't the tournament referee gone out to the players at say 12 all and award a tiebreak.? Now the championships have been ruined for both mens finalists as a result. And another thing, why are officials still calling men's singles gentlemen's singles? They live in a bygone age!

What a great attitude. I love how articulate he is with his thoughts
Incredible man his professionalism and class is incredible I would be fuming after losing that but he kept his cool
Now he knows how Mahut felt back in 2010.
Tyrone Browning Mahut felt sooooooooooooo bad then
Isner is a great ambassador for american tennis.
Amazing John. Insane warrior spirit out there. Nothing left on the court 💪
Thomas Casson what about his win that took 11 hours and 5 minutes against Nicholas Mahut 70-68 in the 5th set
Isner taking the disappointing loss like a champ, hid all negative emotions. Great sportsmanship by him.
sad, was cheering for him a lot.
thriversoffset He lost his stamina a bit earlier than Anderson. The match was too close to select a winner or loser.
What a lovely human being ❤
I thought he had a very good shot at going all the way. I feel bad for him but not as bad as I felt for Roddick after he lost his 3rd Wimbledon final to Federer.
Nice guy. Great pro. His serve hit 142 today, at least.

Well done Mr Isner!!!!!!
Heart go out for Isner, hats off to him...what a great effort.
This is the first time I've heard him in an interview and he's a great guy!
never heard him talk before. he seems like such a likeable guy even after such a crushing defeat
What a stupid question at 6:45, what did she want him to say? "Oh sure, my president is a big fan of me" And why would it be relevant if the answer was yes or no?
Isner is the Iliad and the Odyssey of tennis.
waw what an attitude!! keep goin' john..big fan
feel bad for John, if he was 28, we can assume he can have more chances, but with his age, I hope he can win a Grand Slam soon before time runs out.
angel cap let’s hope he wins us open
Rafa fan but really like Isner, he is a good sportsman. Hope he achieves some further success in his career
Great match, this man has one hell of a serve...
seemed like Kevin was biting more into John's service games before the break
John is a very cool dude!
Nice interview. Agree to fix the last set as tie breaker
Servebot.exe has stopped working
lol ross

They both deserved to win... the questions some journalists asked are just so dumb!
Marathon tennis crazy
it's a shame isner never made it to a slam final
Ridiculous and archaic ruling - there came a point when it stopped being enjoyable for the viewer - even McEnroe was bored - calling for a rule change.

Tie-break at 9-9! This was brutal and will likely adversely impact the final.
Me no likes this result 😠 Super amazing John deserved to be in the final.
Big John is a lucid guy on interviews.
US has a 5th set tie break. Better for the players.
well atleast he doesn't speak a 2nd language or it would have been 15 more minutes there repeating the same stuff
Roger said after the rule change it don't really bother me it it was it is. Little did he know he'd okay in the first 5th set tie breaker ever at wimbledon
Great guy, very sporting by admitting his oponent was a little bit better.
One of the worst and boring match I have ever seen. Isner is nowhere near Andy Roddick. Roddick was much better.
where is federer press conference
I love John
Just go for a 10 point championship tiebreak at 6-6 - simple. Why go 12-12 if they already have a tiebreak at the US Open.
Masters hat :D
There's always basketball! At 6'10" how bad could he be???
Im sad :(
I think if tie break Isner wins this match. This should have been dealt w in 2010.
John Sutton III of course if it’s tie break he wins. That’s the only way he wins. He can’t break anyone’s serve.
Christopher Dones i guess u haven't seen the entire match. Anderson broke isner twice and isner bounced back and broke Anderson in the next game.
Oh sorry he broke him ONCE. It's known Isner wins mostly in tiebreaks because he's a terrible returner.
Tie breaker, please. I don't see the point anymore. Drains the players too and takes away from their ability to play at the highest level when their next game comes around. Also, viewership?? 12 all sounds reasonable enough.
Feel hes pain hes very unlucky stupid Wimbledon tradition is absolutely shocking 5th set should be a tie breaker at 6 6 end of
Big servers are boring to watch
Feeding the vultures
I wanted John to win, but I get the feeling he is more of a 'poor sport' than Kevin is. I don't think John would have felt any sorrow for Kevin if Kevin had lost.
Richard's World Traveler Pls watch the 2018 Miami masters finals and then come back and review your comment.
Richard's World Traveler John is one of the nicer guys on your don’t know where your comment came from
There should be better training for journalists when it comes to asking questions. So many stupid questions, very disappointing.
I think it’s time to retire. He’d made a great tennis commentator.
ダレカジマクツケテクレヤ
Of course he wants to change the rule. Dude can’t break anybody lol the only way he wins matches is through a tiebreak
Christopher Dones u think anyone wants to be out there at 12-12 in a 5th set after 4 extremely close and long other sets? No, ask this question to any other guy on tour and they will say the same answer John gives
Christopher Dones tennis
serve bot
Classy, cool and cute. If not Federer or Cilic, then it's him all the way at the US Open.
Why couldn't the tournament referee gone out to the players at say 12 all and award a tiebreak.? Now the championships have been ruined for both mens finalists as a result. And another thing, why are officials still calling men's singles gentlemen's singles? They live in a bygone age!
he kinda looks like andy roddick
Boo hoo little Susie!
@tony roll, I didn't see the match but I'm pretty sure the scoreline and the match length disqualifies your comment.
