no idea where to post, but its also played in grass, so the soccer forum seems like the best fit.

they are now playing for 8 hours and 35 minutes and the match is 49-48 (!) in the 5th set. what an epic game.

57-57 now. This is insane. That's like a 70 inning baseball game. Not a 30 inning game.

Do you think the opponent of the winner is just sitting back and grinning?

59-59, play suspended for today because of darkness. they played the whole day. amazing.

this is more like a pitcher pitching well over 20 innings. and he needs to go to the mound again in 14 hours.

btw, the next opponent also played a long game and won 16-14 in the 5th set. so I guess he is not watching. he should be resting somewhere.

Now tennis knows how to deal with ties. Play on. No drawing lots or penalty kicks here!

67-67 now. Isner and Mahut have played an hour today since the resumption of the match. No one has had a break point or no game has even made it to deuce yet today. Will this ever end?

Isner wins 70-68. that was history. I guess all the records achieved will stand for a very long time.

This was like a video game. Was Vince McMahon behind it?? Or was it a new TV show??

Couldn't possibly have been real.

Isner got smoked today. He had nothing left. Didn't even warm up which didn't help him either.
