Post-match reaction from John Isner:
"I honestly, when I left the match, I really thought it was a dream. I didn't think that type of match was possible. So I was really expecting to wake up, in all seriousness.
"I only slept for four hours [overnight]. I talked to Nic. He said he only slept for about three.
"I guess something Nic and I will share forever really. I don't think I've ever said five words to the guy prior to our match.. Now when I do see him in the locker room at other tournaments, we'll always be able to share that.
"Prior to coming to Wimbledon, I didn't play in Eastbourne because I didn't feel fit. I had the long clay court season. So I stayed an extra eight days in Tampa where it was a hundred degrees and a hundred percent humidity. I got in pretty good shape. My coach actually, believe it or not, said jokingly before the tournament started that I'll be able to play 10 hours.
"The guys that are in the locker room, pretty much every one of them came up to me and patted me on the back or shook my hand or whatnot.
"I drank a recovery shake just to get some carbs in me right away. My coach came to the locker room with a plate of pasta and a plate of a bunch of stuff... Yeah, then I took an ice bath, iced my arm down. Then I ate as much as possible. Then actually Andy Roddick left the site and came back with takeout food for myself and my coach, believe it or not.
"In a way kind of glad it happened, although I am pretty tired. It's pretty nice to be a part of that match."
