When Did John and Madison meet?
Madison has grown up in Texas and graduated from The Episcopal School of Dallas.
Their first meeting was an interesting series of events. It was the year 2011. John Isner was playing with his friend Sam Querry at the US Men’s Clay Court Championship in Houston, Texas. Madison was watching the match with her friends. After the match got over, Madison and her friends wanted a photo with their favourite players. However, they denied the request and instead asked the company to go out with them!
Interestingly, John was not supposed to play in the event. The 6 foot 10 American star had no interest in playing doubles and was only there because he had lost his singles match earlier in the day. It seems like that one loss gave John the greatest gift of his life!
John and Madison started developing interest in each other and both started to talk on text. However, their stars would align once again to arrange a second meeting. Madison was gifted a trip to London at the same time that Isner was in the city for Wimbledon!
As soon as he got off the plane, John met Madison for a drink at the local pub. Madison later described Isner as “goofy and a big goober.” Things got pretty serious quickly as Madison decided to stay there for an extra week.
