Damn, is it like the championships because i would have gave up like after the 5th draw hey look it is the championships
This was the best match in the history of tennis.
Holy shit. This game is epic. Isn't it tied at 59? ESPN2 is just showing it and they're at 47-48.
[QUOTE=Mr_Minion;22831367]That's it! It's suspended.[/QUOTE] Someone get that law for kids comic with the kid who gets suspended and put Mahut and Isner's faces in it.
Dammit! I was already taking bets who would faint first. Ah well.
The match is longer than all three The Lord of the Rings movies.
No one's made a post in 2 hours, but as soon as it restarts tomorrow, this thread will be overflowing.
[QUOTE=rosthouse;22831469]Thought they only have light on the central court.[/QUOTE] What the hell? This is Wimbledon, I've never even played on a high school court that didn't have lights.
Is this finally over, or not?
Who won?
I love sports
i love college
Got too dark, they're continuing tomorrow.
Can't wait :smug:
The thing is they actually started this match last night, and then they had to suspend it the next day to finish up the fifth set and now its suspended again. [QUOTE=BrQ;22831145]yeah but come on, he hits many balls (heh) and the one that can make him win, he can't hit. I'm not saying they're all pretending and stuff, but it just smells wrong[/QUOTE] Oh, and BrQ, tennis involves a lot more athleticism than you think, its not what it was 40 years ago. So much footwork is involved. Usually 5-set matches last a few hours, if it's more than 4 hours it's considered pretty long.

It's just that they hit many balls and the one that can make them win, they just let go.
When's the match going to be finished? I've played tennis since I was 4 but I've always found watching tennis to be boring as fuck; but that match was insane. You can't appreciate how rare it is unless you're a player yourself. What amazes me more than their stamina is their consistancy at winning service games. The only explanation I can think of is that they got so fucking tired they didn't have the strength to do anything but serve... but that clearly wasn't the case.
When does it start today?
This sounds pretty damn exciting.

So how long do you think it will be before one of them wins? :P
It's on again, and i think it might be a while, until one of them fucks up.
Well, let's see if this will ever end.
65-65... A total of 640 minutes.
And the exact same thing as yesterday is happening.
It's still going?
Are you fucking shitting me? This is still going?
66-67
Isner needs to stop resting on Mahut's serve and just finish this shit.
This match will probably keep going until one of them just collapses from sheer exhaustion.
