  • Wimbledon Marathon



    The longest match in history between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut was called again due to darkness with the two tied at 59-59 games each in the fifth set.

    The fifth set alone has taken 7 hours and 6 minutes, and will resume tomorrow.
    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

      I played Tennis in HS and that would kill someone...I was watching some replays and those two are DOG tired.
      Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

            Don't know much about the Frenchman that Isner beat. But Isner is a lanky guy with a HUGE serve. The guy is something like 6'8"!
