8/26/2026 John Isner inducted into the NC Tennis Hall of Fame surrounded by 19 NC Tennis Legends (Left to right) Mark Dillon, Don Flow, Andy Avram, Herb Bolick, Jim Corn, Keith Richardson, Janet Moseley, John Isner, Lindsey Linker, Susie Wall, Paula Hale, Rebel Good, Vicki Everette, JW Isenhour, Billy Trott, Jeff Joyce, Bonnie Vandegrift, Allen Farfour, and Cy King

On August 26, 2026 the North Carolina Tennis Foundation inducted John Isner into the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame at the Winston-Salem Open. While John was unable to join us in Pinehurst this past January for the induction ceremony alongside fellow Inductees, Allen Farfour and Brian Kalbas, we couldn’t let the occasion pass without expressing our gratitude and appreciation for John’s lasting contributions to NC Tennis upon a recent return to his home state.

Special thanks to Wendy’s, our presenting sponsor, whose support made this event possible (Keith Stonemen Class of 2012); to the 18 Hall of Fame members who welcomed John at the event; and to The Slaydon Family Bluegrass Band, representing the Greensboro Tennis Foundation NJTL Chapter, for entertaining guests and sharing their talent for music, love of tennis, and appreciation for the NC Tennis Foundation.

Congratulations, John Isner – and welcome to the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame!
