Quote by -John Isner
That's why I enjoy Davis Cup, and I really enjoyed college tennis. It's very special. You want to go out there and compete your hardest, because you don't want to let anyone down. You want to absolutely give it your all for your team. And that's sort of the mentality I've taken to pro tennis.
Quote by -John Isner

Quote by -John Isner
My theory is that I'm just closer to the sun than everyone else. I weigh more than everyone else, I'm taller than everyone else. When it's really humid and hot outside it's going to take a bigger toll on me.
Quote by -John Isner
The hardest part about traveling for work is that I'm a big guy, so traveling is sometimes uncomfortable for me.
Quote by -John Isner

There are a lot of things that go on between the lines of a tennis court, mentally, physically and whatnot.
Quote by -John Isner
I've done a good job putting some meat on my bones since my freshman year of college. It's taken a lot of work. I was just under 200 pounds my freshman year; I was 6'8' and 198 pounds.
Quote by -John Isner

Quote by -John Isner
I have a coach and I have a chiropractor, who works to keep me healthy. I pay their salaries. I pay for their flights as we travel around the world on a weekly basis, and I pay for their hotels and meals while we're on tour.
Quote by -John Isner
A lot of times when I'm confident and relaxed on the court, I'm going to be a pretty tough out. But when I'm not so confident and not so relaxed, I tense up and my balls fall short and everything. It just sort of unravels.
Quote by -John Isner
When I fly overseas, I usually fly business class. If not, my knees are going to be at my chin.
Quote by -John Isner
Probably the most infamous story in our family: My oldest brother took a U-lock bike lock and locked my head to the bedpost. And he didn't just do this for a minute or two; he did this for a couple hours. I was maybe 8 or 9, and he was maybe 15.
Quote by -John Isner
Any time you get to come to New York and be near New York City, that is a very cool opportunity.

Quote by -John Isner

Quote by -John Isner
In a tiebreaker, you generally have a lot of adrenaline running through. It's all about just holding your serve, trying to hold two serves at a time, trying to stay ahead in the tiebreaker, constantly put pressure on my opponent.
Quote by -John Isner
I know where I'm ranked, but I don't look at it that much, I don't study it that much. You really can't look at it that way, you've got to try to win as many matches as you can, and it's cliche, but you've got to take it one at a time.
