You’ve probably heard at least something about the record breaking three-day tennis math between the United States’ John Isner and France’s Nicolas Mahut, but you may not have heard about the interview with Isner where he clearly qualifies himself as a yogi–immersed in willful intention without concern for results.

“Especially once the match got past, you know, 25-all, I wasn’t
really thinking,” said Isner. “Hitting a serve and trying to hit a
forehand winner is the only thing I was doing.”

When it did
conclude, Isner dropped down to the court, rolled on his back and kicked
his legs in the air–sounds like Ananda Balasana (Happy Baby Pose) to us.

And we aren’t the only ones feeling inspired by Isner’s presence; Matt Harvey has put out all call for people to tweet tennis inspired haikus to his account @wimbledonpoet.
