Tennis history happening, now, at Wimbledon.

Isner (USA) v Mahmut (France) are currently 47-46 in final set.

Match, nearly 8 and a half hours old. :blankfriggingstare1 :blankfriggingstare1 :blankfriggingstare1

Isner didn't want to come off - but he was literally, at times, on his knees.

Insane. I remember the LAST longest match {Charlie Pasarell vs. Pancho Gonzales} in 1969. This blows that match, in length, out of the water!

Amazing. 70-68 in the fifth?? Each player with over 100 aces??? Sad that someone had to actually win this one---or maybe I should say, sad that somehow had to lose it...

Well, Isner's out in singles play in three...no wonder. No aces. Massaging this shoulder.....there was just nothing left. But he, for sure, left his mark on the history books...:) He's still in the doubles, BTW...
