Federer, who went out of the tournament without dropping his own serve, said that Isner had served superbly on the big points. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s got the size, got the power, got the angles,&rdquo; the 34-year-old said.
&ldquo;I thought he did very well today when he needed it. The breakers, he served great. Those are the ones he needed. Yeah, that was the difference. It&rsquo;s tough to get out of the tournament not having lost your serve,&rdquo; added Federer.
