My goodness, if Isner keeps serving like this, he's going to be impossible to break.

Isner is a great server. Dammit.

Isner takes the first set in a tie-breaker (no surprise that a tie-breaker was needed). A terrible miss by Felix on an overhead was the difference.

The guy never seems to double-fault either.

Is it reverse tennis or anti tennis? I keep forgetting which is the servebot and which is the backboard.

Isner up 40-love, Felix gets it to deuce, then boom-boom and game to Isner. Felix has to be getting frustrated out there.

People say Isner has the best 1st serve in history and Milos has the best 2nd serve in history.

Servebots = anti-tennis (i.e. they don't want to rally)
Backboards = negative tennis (i.e. they can't hit winners or play on the front foot)

Casuals maybe, but we all know Federer first serve, Sampras second serve are the GOATs. I can't get behind two guys with a combined zero majors and one 1000 win (over Zverev which basically doesn't count) as being the GOATs of anything.

Yeah but part of why they can't win the big events is when they need the serve, they don't have it. Hell I'd take Novak's serve over theirs because he is clutch as ####. Dominating in the early rounds against mid-tier opponents does nothing for me. Ivanišević is clear of both of them as far as serve goes.

Goran Ivanisevic had a pretty good serve.

Edit: Beaten to the punch by the Senator.

Geez, that was a heck of a return by Felix and Isner somehow makes the off the shoetops volley.

Isner loves Miami, this is by far his best Masters 1000 tourney as far as results are concerned. Can't be too upset at how Felix played, the Isner serve was on fire today.

Pliskova always plays like she doesn't want to be there.

Sakkari - Pegula should be a good match. Maria almost had a double bagel win today (missed it by one game).

What a comeback from Sinner who looked dead on his feet in set 2 only to rally and eliminate Silent K in three sets.

Popyrin saved three match points and has forced a third set against Medvedev.

Medvedev leads 4-3 and is serving but is also cramping up big time.
