Big-hitting American John Isner hails Andy Murray

LONDON: Big-hitting American John Isner paid tribute to Andy Murray after sending the two times champion crashing out of Wimbledon with a barrage of booming serves and aces in a second round clash on Wednesday.

"I am most definitely not a better tennis player than Andy Murray, I might have just been a little better than him today," said the 20th seed after the Scot had left the cheering court, waving as he went.

"It was an incredible honour to play him on this court in front of this crowd. At the age I'm at now, I need to relish these moments. This was one of the biggest wins of my career," he added.

"To play as well as I did against one of our greatest players ever was a huge accomplishment for me. He's a massive inspiration to each one of us in the locker room and we are so lucky to still have him around." Agencies
