By then Murray was shaking his head and not even bothering to run for some of Isner's drop shots. And when asked how he stayed strong and won the game, Isner joked: "I served..." And after a scorching 36 aces in this match, he could break Ivo Karlovic's all-time record of 13,728 at this tournament as he is now only four behind.

Andy Murray was knocked out of Wimbledon after losing 6-4, 7-6, 6-7, 6-4 against John Isner of the USA.

“But it’s extremely difficult with the problems I’ve had with my body in the last few years to make long-term predictions.” And with the crowd urging him on, he was able to capitalise. In a game of millimetres and microseconds, it made all the difference. But a little slower in the eyes, and between the lines. “But tonight he was very close to the lines in important moments.” Afterwards Murray pledged to be back at Wimbledon if his creaking 35-year-old body holds up, but he conceded that was not a given.

Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray joined Emma Raducanu through the exit door after a four-set defeat by John Isner.

He's a massive inspiration to each one of us in the locker room and we are so lucky to still have him around." "It was an incredible honour to play him on this court in front of this crowd. This was one of the biggest wins of my career," he added. 10 minutes after the resumption, so was the latest chapter in Murray's Wimbledon odyssey. "Like I said, I certainly didn't serve well enough at the beginning of the match, which I think is understandable. "If physically I'm in a good place, yeah, I will continue to play.

It was Isner who earned the decisive break, capitalising on a dreadful lapse in concentration as Murray yanked a simple would-be winner backhand into the net. He broke at the first opportunity, sparking Murray into a familiar self-flagellating rhythm behind the baseline, punching his thigh and glaring at his box as though ready to disown them. Murray vented his ire towards his box, but this was a riddle that players have struggled to solve for over a decade when Isner is in full flow. He gave up just two break points throughout the entire match and summoned a remarkable 36 aces, puncturing the atmosphere whenever pressure swelled, but it would be unfair to reduce his efforts to just one dimension. Isner’s impenetrable serve will always be best remembered for his 11-hour marathon match here against Nicolas Mahut, but it was hard to recall a time when it has been quite so relentlessly precise as this. This was a different and perhaps a more depressing kind of defeat than what Murray endured last year.

“But the other guy was just so… “It’s very very difficult to play John Isner.” “So much emotion, it’s great.” “Maybe it’s time for some new players to do well.” “I thought it was always going to be a tough match, so it’s unfortunate. “It’s frustrating.”

I really want to try and improve my ranking to a level where I'm getting seeded in slams. From there, it was simply a case of how long the American would take to finish the job. That's kind of what my goals are between now and the US Open.” On this occasion, however, Murray had no answer to the Isner serve. He said: “Last year was difficult for different reasons. He had only ever won four sets in those meetings.

But he stopped short of guaranteeing a return to Wimbledon next year. He has been particularly focussed on improving his Pepperstone ATP Ranking since he lost to World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev as an unseeded player at the Miami Open presented by Itau in March. But Isner's booming serve kept Murray's brilliance at bay, keeping points short and not allowing the Briton to sink his teeth into the match.

"It was a great honour to play against him today. "This could be at the top, it is super special to everyone of us on tour. I need that to be working. Tonight I guess I was able to.

Ten minutes later so was the latest chapter in Murray’s Wimbledon odyssey. Murray’s serve needed to be firing as well, but too often in the early stages he gave Isner a look at his second attempt, and it was a searing return which was too hot for the home favourite as he was broken in the third game. The second set whizzed by with neither player laying a glove on the other, but Isner drew first blood in the tie-break and when Murray got a solitary chance to retrieve the damage he dumped a simple pass into the net.

I was in a really good place physically and my game was in a good spot.

Murray can no longer hope to compete with the power of servers like Isner and he will have to continue adapting if he is to ever grace Centre Court again.

After doing so much to get there, Isner blitzed his way through his service game and Murray was right back where he started – staring at the possibility of a straight sets defeat, knowing he had not come from two sets down at Wimbledon for nine years, when he did so against Fernando Verdasco in the quarter-final on his way to winning the whole thing. The roar that signified a fourth set suggested it had been worth it. When it was Murray’s turn on the front foot, a cruel series of drop shots prevented him from consolidating his advantage. Somehow, if only through sheer bloody-mindedness, he was back in it, even if it felt like he would not be able to sustain his resistance. Murray defied that with a fightback in the second set. In the first set, he hit 17 winners and Murray’s only hope was that he could rely on unforced errors to break him.
