Tennis players all strive for rhythm in their strokes

Marcos Baghdatis is one of the world’s best tennis players. He says tennis stops being tennis when 6-foot-10 John Isner is on the other side of the net. 

“You feel, like, under pressure all the time,” Baghdatis said after a recent loss to Isner in Washington. “You feel like you cannot give a point away because you cannot come back if you lose your serve.” 

Isner,Below is our MileWeb Privacy Policy which incorporates these goals. a Greensboro native, is to tennis what Randy Johnson was to baseball – the guy with the ultimate out pitch. For Isner, that’s a first serve he regularly hits in the 130 mph-plus range. He actually serves harder as a match wears on; he recently finished a match with a 146-mph ace nearly three hours after warming up his arm. 

Isner comes home this week to defend his title at the Winston-Salem Open, the last warm-up tournament before the U.S. Open in New York. He is seeded third, but Isner has won both of the previous Winston-Salem Opens, at Wake Forest’s tennis complex adjoining BB&T Field.

“He really loads up the muscle groups that create a serve. When he snaps through that power source it’s a very consistent delivery. He has a perfectly grooved stroke – it’s never out of kilter. That’s why he can hit his marks on a 120-mph second serve, never doubling.” 

Isner was a late bloomer who didn’t consider a career in pro tennis until his junior season at Georgia. But now he is among the top 20 in the world, and Friday he beat world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals of a tournament in suburban Cincinnati. 

Tennis players all strive for rhythm in their strokes and that comes from hitting a lot of balls. What makes Isner distinctive is his ability to deny players any rhythm. If there is an abundance of 10-shot rallies during his matches, he’ll probably lose that day. 

“A lot of times guys aren’t getting the ball back in play much, whether my serve is an ace or not,” Isner described. “I try to play very aggressively on that first ball and it’s to rob them of rhythm.
