I don't know the actual statistics. But, I think if Isner's serve is returned and the
ball is on play (meaning no ace and no service winner), then Isner seems to have
less than 50% chance of winning the point.

Hi GSM. Isner's coach said John's having trouble seeing on the one side.

That's what happens when you are so close to the sun!

Is this general eye problem or sun blinding the eye? I am getting confused.

OK. Thanks. I started watching only from the middle of 1st set.

Isner's volleying is impressive. So is Karlovic's actually.

Sometimes they're good. I've seen some clunkers too.
