John Isner and his wife Madison McKinley recently welcomed their fourth child into the world. The couple, who have been married since 2017, were already parents to a daughter and two sons - Hunter Grace, John Hobbs, and James 'Mack' McKinley.
The Tennis Channel congratulated John and Madison on the birth of their fourth child on social media. Their post was accompanied by a picture of their children, Hunter, John and James holding the newborn, and also a picture of the baby swaddled in a white blanket.
The gender and name of the newborn baby are yet to be revealed.
“Congrats to @JohnIsner and his wife Madison on the birth of their fourth child,” read the tweet.
John Isner, known for his powerful serve, has been ranked as high as No. 8 in the ATP rankings. He also holds the record for the most aces in the history of the ATP tour, with 14,222.
That said, the 37-year-old has had a dismal 2023 season so far. His only highlight has been reaching the final of the ATP 250 in Dallas, where he lost to Yibing Wu in three sets.
“I am still feeling pretty good” - John Isner not ready to stop yet
John Isner is into his 17th season on the ATP tour, but he is not ready to stop yet.
“I am still feeling pretty good,” he told ATPTour.com earlier this year. “I think I'm the oldest player in the top 100, which is actually something I'm very proud of.”
Isner acknowledged that he is in the twilight of his career but also stated that he still likes to compete. That is what keeps him going despite many players his age not on tour anymore.
“I know I am in the twilight of my career, and a lot of players my age aren't playing anymore, so I think I'm very fortunate to still be playing.” said the World No. 68. “I still like to compete, it keeps me going."
The 37-year-old also mentioned how having his family in tow helps him stay motivated. He said the losses are easier to bear if his wife Madison and their three kids accompany him on tour.
“I really enjoy having them here. It makes the losses easier because it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things,” he said.
