John Isner names Roger Federer as favorite player

American tennis player John Isner said that Swiss tennis superstar Roger Federer is his favorite player and wishes to play doubles with him in the near future.

“I played my best tennis against Roger Federer at 2012 Davis Cup; probably because he’s my favorite player,” he said. “I am very close with all the American guys. Outside of that, I feel like I am close with pretty much everyone. All the South American guys, especially the Argentineans, are super nice. I think I get on with most people pretty well.

Isner is currently taking part in a number of charity tennis exhibition events but will soon be preparing for the 2014 season. Being the top-ranked American at the ATP Tour, Isner aims for a more productive 2014 season which will see him make a return to the world’s top ten.
