4.10 min. | 4.95 user rating		 Here's what John says about his serve: "The toss is very important in maintaining a consisitent service motion but there are some other things you should work on as well. 1) Keep a relaxed loose grip on the racquet. This will enable you to get alot more power and wrist snap 2) Always have the same routine before every service motion regardless if it is a first serve or a second serve. Find a routine that is comfortable for you. If you ever watch me serve I always for some reason bounce the ball between my legs before every serve. I don't know why I do this but I always have. Let me know if you ever see me hit a serve before bouncing the ball between my legs- I am pretty sure I do it everytime! 3) Always keep the toss in front of you."

0.87 min. | 5.0 user rating		 The greatest battle in tennis history. Das längste Tennismatch aller Zeiten: 6:4, 3:6, 6:7 (7:9), 7:6 (7:3), 70:68. 11 Stunden und 5 Minuten standen sich John Isner (USA) und der Franzose Nicolas Mahut auf Platz 18 in Wimbledon gegenüber. Das längste Match aller Zeiten! Das kann es (fast) nur in Wimbledon geben. Denn hier wird der 5. Satz ohne Tiebreak gespielt (sonst nur noch bei den Australian Open, in Paris bei den French Open und im Davis Cup). Das Marathon-Match zog sich über zwei Tage. Los ging's am Dienstag, war nach dem 4. Satz wegen Dunkelheit abgebrochen worden. Satz 5 war für Mittwoch angesetzt -- wurde aber nach über sieben Stunden beim Stand von 59:59 auf gestern vertagt. Alleine der 5. Satz dauerte mit 8:11 Stunden länger als das bisher längste Spiel aller Zeiten (6:33/Santoro -- Clement, French Open 2004). Die über 3000 Zuschauer in und um Platz 18 sahen die meisten Asse, die meisten Spiele, die meisten Aufschläge, die meisten Gewinnpunkte. Ein Spiel für die Ewigkeit. Longest tennis match ever.
