Service with a grimace
John Isner’s serve is a study in leverage, trajectory physics and efficiency of movement.
He bounces the ball between his gangly legs, taps it with his racket and neatly catches it off the ground in his left hand. He gives it a light, fingertip toss and it hovers there for a split second at the apogee, 11, maybe even 12 feet off the surface of the hardcourt. He shifts his weight to his front leg as his body leans into the stroke, and he gives a little jump just before the moment of impact, stretching his 6-foot-9 frame to its limits.
