The longest set.

[Jeltz]

I like really long hard sets.

I misread that ....and then realised I was supposed to :lol: :lol:

And then they call for new balls :mrgreen:

66:66 now :shock:

Isner's done it - 70-68

 

[Jeltz]

lets face it he'll be totally spent now and out next round!

Then the other guy goes out on court later and plays mixed doubles, astonishing.

I'm glad I wasn't an Italian supporter. They broke in to the Radio 5 live commentary in injury time to report the end of the tennis match.

I didn't read about or watch any of this game so correct me if I'm mistaken.

I'm assuming serves were difficult to break because they both had monster serves, did a game of tennis actually break out?

The few dozen games I watched seemed quite closely matched - often going to deuce - I think Isner had match point 5 or 6 times before finally converting... Mahut also seemed to be still going for it even after 6 hours on court on Wednesday. (Apparently he knocked out one of the other great British hopes in the qualifying tournament in a 5-setter that went to 24-22 as well, so I'd say he just doesn't give up, ever).
