I know as much about tennis as I do football/soccer. However, I'm pretty sure 59-59 and still going at 10 hours is just flippin' crazy. :)

It's the longest game in the history of Wimbledon. Mentally it is totally nuts as Lazy said, because you just need one Break after 6-6 in the 5th set. Epic stuff here.

BEWARE: there is a Mahut involved in this tennis game also.

On a more serious note, and after having investigated a little (namely read some utube commentaries) I came 2 find that: These two have broken a bunch of records in this match! Most aces, winners, nearly most double faults (mahut, 20), most games, most time... the list is practically endless

Yesterday I left home at 6 am, got to work at 7.10 am and worked until 7.15 pm. There was deadline. Every friday Im drained.
But I did watch the world cup....


Do portugese dentists work hard? In belgium some specialists have two or three practices, work 12 hours a day and earn a ton of money doing so?

This is what happens when you play "NR 40 NB NWS" at Wimbledon.

Wow, it's now up to 64-63 in the 5th set. Neither one can break the other's serve. I wish I could watch this.

I'm following it here....

Isner finally won the last set 70 - 68 after 11 hours of game over 3 days. I think that Isner will struggle in next round as he must be VERY tired. Ouch!

Yeah, this was completely epic. Never before, and never again. This is the only thing in wimbledon 2010 that people will take any notice of until England are out of the World Cup.
