Wimbleton

[Highschoolfan78]

Amazing match between Isner and Mahut on right now.

31-31 in the 5th Set!!:eek:


The winner plays the match between de Bakker and Giraldo which is around 15 all right now.

Taylor Dent broke the service record at 147 mph right now!

Which is more remarkable?

[Highschoolfan78]

74 aces for Isner!

[crzyjournalist03]

31 all in the fifth? That's insane!!!! Is that a record?

[eagles_victory]

the 31-31 score doesnt impress me all that much all it is is 2 guys who can't break serve.

Seriously? A 62-game set doesn't impress you?

How long has the match been going?

[Highschoolfan78]

Isner has to be about 6'7 and weighing near 250. The winner of this will be feeling it tomorrow. Not sure what time it started, but has to be well over 5 hours.

[Highschoolfan78]

The winner will play De Bakker who had to win 16-14 in his 5th set over Giraldo. What a crappy next round match for these two tired men.

[Highschoolfan78]

Commentators just said that it started last night and continued due to sun set. They've been playing 4 hours today and it's now the longest match ever in tennis history.

How long has the match been going? No tennis is about breaking serve a serve has not been broke since the second set in this match. I mean the endurance sure but other than that doesn't really mean much to me.

[Highschoolfan78]

33 all, 5th set.

[Highschoolfan78]

Federrer just lost a set to a qualifier, is that impressive?

Im not trying to be negative I love tennis and played in high school and play recreationally fairly often still. All Im saying is to make a great match in my opinion you have to show an ability to break serve.

[Highschoolfan78]

Definitely not playing up to par thus far in this tournament.

[Highschoolfan78]

The last 2 Wimbledon finals alone that he has played in were grueling. (The year Nadal beat him in a long match and the year where Roddick fell short like 27-25 fifth set or whatever) You are definitely right. He looks like he's just worn out.

[Highschoolfan78]

Tennis is about breaking serve, but conversely that means it's about holding serve. The fact that neither of these guys have blinked in over 88 games is astounding.

was just on an autodesk support call and they had remoted into my computer and told me they had it on in their office too lol.....

[Txbroadcaster]

I agree with EV..yes the match is epic because of the amount of time..but it is not like we are seeing alot of break points or match points.

Isner has an amazing serve but his return is terrible and basically why this matchhas went this long

[District303aPastPlayer]

51-50, 5th set, 8 hours, 55 minutes.

My point is it's not great tennis to watch other than the fact that it is 59 to 59 which is impressive but it's almost as unastounding that noone has found a way to win this yet.

[crzyjournalist03]

Does anybody know how many break points there have been in the fifth set?
