That is nuts.

36 games all now.

Something like 117 games so far in the match

Epic

Have they all been going with serve?

Yup, neither of them seem capable of breaking the other's serve.

Isner has hit over 70 aces in this one match, Mahut has hit something like 65. Previous record was in the lowly 50s

Isner just hit ace number 80

What amazing strength of character and mind to play that long!!! Brilliant and a real shame for whoever doesn't go through.

do you think they are doing it deliberately?

I'm watching it now!

5hrs for one set!

48-all. I'll be disappointed if we don't get 100 games in this set!

I watched a bit, as funny as it is it's very low quality tennis. Looking forward to rafa vs Djoc if they both get through.

49 to 50 now!

50 to 50.

Nearly 9 hours of match play...so far. Incredible.

yeah!

That's funny, I heard it was a new 'record' before I went to the supermaket for a big shop, filled the car up with fuel, came home, cooked dinner, watched 30 mins of the footy, and it's STILL ON!!!

The set has nearly lasted longer than the longest match ever!! 😯

Whoever they meet in the next round should have an easy time of it!

If I wasn't watching this I would think it a betting scam

bonkers

The winner I believe has to play tomorrow!!!

"The winner I believe has to play tomorrow!!!"

If they don't sort it out soon he'll be playing 2 games at once tomorrow!

I like the way Barker said ""Today at Wimbledon" will follow when this match has concluded"....

10/10 for optimism.

And on and on..

And on......

Christ....is it still going on? They must have to do rock, paper, scissors at some point?

highclimber - Member

one of them is going to drop dead soon! look at Isner - he looks almost broken

he looked like that about 3 hours ago, unbelievable he's still standing let alone playing!

Was watching it for around 3 hours fell asleep for an hour and woke up to see them still scrapping it out.

I was pretty staggered when I started this thread, ABOUT 2 HOURS AGO!

Utterly amazing stuff

which one r you lots watching theres 3 different games i think..watching it online now thanks to that link above ! lol

It looks like they can't even remember what they're playing for now - they're just continuing through the mechanics of playing, as if for some mad despot, who will arbitrarily decide when or if they can stop.

Stop the game, flip a coin. thread Closed

lol they,ve both just gone for a wash !!! lol dint think you got that mucky in tennis 😆

It's a fix all, they have worked this out together!

Mahut is some sort of mechanical god... 😀

does that presenter want to get any closer to those girls! Letch!

mechanical god... great he can fix my bike wen it breaks down then.... oh here we go time please....

Can you blame him?

"yeah we know that" 😆

any closer he'd have been in her

It's heating up, f me another ace

Looks like poor light is going to stop it.

Edit: Bosh.

well that it until tomorow then darkness stops the game lol

[i]tennis players - more stamina than daylight[/i] 😮

Making them do an interview? That's a bit cruel.

I reckon whoever wins this is going to have a ready made contract for the part of the new Duracell Bunny.

lol they shud be on centre court tomorow ! respect 8) well done now they do need an ice bath !

but not together 😯

I think Isner wanted to continue.

That is the most bonkers game I have ever seen, and they were still going for it

From the [url= http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/jun/23/wimbledon-2010-tennis-live?showallcomments=true#comment-51 ]guardian blog[/url] "6.48pm: The sun is sinking and the court is a blur. It is at this stage that Zombie Isner starts to look like Zombie Mahut and the Zombie Umpire stops croaking and starts to chirrup like a grasshopper. In other words, we're here but we're gone. Is anyone still alive up in the stands or have they now all been eaten? It's 40-40. And that's games, not points"
Starts at 3.45

the madness continues

Oh My Gods finally it ends.

I take Mahut off to both of them

there Isner chance this record will ever be beaten.

Unbelievably, these two have been drawn against each other again and playing at the moment. No records yet though 😉
