American tennis star John Isner, who holds the record for the longest match in history, revealed he will retire from professional tennis following the US Open next week in New York.

The American is known as one of the best servers in the history of the sport. He used his height of 6'10" to generate plenty of power and controlled a number of matches that way when he was at his peak.

He has the most aces in men's singles history with 14,411, which is 683 ahead of second-place Ivo Karlovic.

Isner, who will be playing his 17th consecutive US Open next week, has won 16 singles titles and 8 doubles titles on the ATP Tour and peaked at No. 8 in the singles rankings and at No. 14 in doubles.

He also reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2018, the same Grand Slam where he played the longest match in tennis history in 2010- an 11-hour, 5-minute E-P-I-C win over Nicolas Mahut in the first round which he won 70-68 in the deciding set.

Isner also reached the quarter-finals at the US Open twice, and the fourth round at the Australian Open and Roland-Garros on multiple occasions.
