need Isner to win so, assuming he gets by Thiem, Nadal will have an easier and less taxing match against Big John.
I mean that strictly from a fitness standpoint

Is this even tennis?
Isner serving is like a volleyball hitter spiking with no blockers.

This is real tennis according to a certain fanbase. Rallies and tactical tennis is for the less talented.

Isner looking so good off the ground and continuing hit great feel shots. Excellent dropper and putaway volley there.

Not really since everyone has easy power now due to rackets.

It's not so much power as it is sheer height.
It's like an adult blocking shots against 6th graders in basketball.

Isner has improved his ground game overall tho, i gotta give him that.

If that was the case then everyone would serve 140 MPH bombs.

Different circumstances. Nadal last year had a much quicker time going through the draw, Delpo had the 5 setter against Thiem and 4 setter against Fed. Tables are turned this year.

Ground game power is easy these days. Simple as that. Serve power is however a different story which needs technique so i agree for the serve. Ground game wise, every single player in the world can hit a 100+mph winner now.

And volleys, I'm suprised at how rock solid he has been at the net this year.

I actually like matches when tall players face taller players, anyhow, It'd be awesome if either one of them makes it to the SF.

Isner is gonna have a way better year in the slams than Zverev; I don't think even the staunchest ABZer would've genuinely thought that at the start of 2018.

It's like having the serve stick berzerker attribute but actually being able to use it. If only I could.
