Murray says Isner has the best serve of all time: "He could do everything with it, I think stats show it as well"

Britain’s veteran tennis star Andy Murray believes America’s John Isner has the best service of all time.

The 38-year-old’s journey in the ongoing US Open came to an end after he suffered a defeat in the second round to fellow American Michael Mmoh with a score of 3-6, 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 7-6. With that, his journey in the singles category also came to an end.

Murray was quoted recently where he heaped praise on Isner and believes that his service is the best of all time.

“I believe he has the best serve in the history of the game,” said the former world number one. “Amazing technique. First & second serves, he could do everything with it. In terms of his game, I’d remember that it’s the best serve ever to play.

“I’ve had discussions with people from previous eras. Some people may disagree. But I believe he has the best serve of all time. I think the stats show that as well.”

Murray, just like Isner, has also seen his US Open campaign come to an end after suffering a defeat to Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 6-1.

It will be interesting to see whether Murray will return to playing at the Flashing Medows as just like Isner, there are already doubts whether he will be fit enough to participate at the highest level in 12 months’ time.
