In his own words, John Isner is "certainly no better tennis player than Andy Murray". But as a tennis record breaker, this man has achieved success. When the 6-foot-10 American hit his fifth ace of 24 against Jannik Sinner in the third round at Wimbledon, he became the all-time leader with 13,729, Passing Ivo Karlovic, who hit the ball from the same height.
Completely in line with the character of a man. He's managed to show that he's proud of the record while showing that he - or himself - doesn't take it too seriously.
Asked about his record-breaking prospects after beating Briton Murray in the second round on Wednesday, Isner said: "Once I get to that number, anyway, no explanation or anything, but I'll know. I've got the record, it will be cool.
"It's not going to get me into the Hall of Fame or anything like that because I'm not. But I'll be the all-time leader. I'll keep playing and keep adding to my tally."
After reaching the top, Isner believed he "could be there for a long time."
By the end of the game against Sinner, the 37-year-old had expanded his tally to 13,748 enough to win 3,437 games and nearly 573 sets.
Friday's 24 aces were not enough to win the match - he lost 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 6-3.
