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

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

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.

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!

"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.

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.
