Longest Tennis Match Ever Just Finished. 68 - 70 5th set to Isner. Epic.

[~N9NE~]

Mahut and Isner are playing right now at Wimbledon.

They've been playing for 9 hours and a half.

The 5th set is 56-55 at the moment. The 5th set has lasted nearly 6 hours and a half. Longest set in tennis history.

Wow. Everyone check it. For my US smashers I think it's on ESPN.

Longest tennis match ever! Epic!

[~N9NE~]

Match just got suspended due to darkness.

Forget the World Cup tomorrow, I'm watching this, 10 hours played. Immense.

 

[Deleted member]

HYPE

 

[-Jumpman-]

10 hours, I just watched it. 59.

 

[Proud_Smash_N00b]

simply amazing. It is nearly impossible to match the kind of stamina both men showed today. Kudos to both of them and may the best man win.
does anyone know what time it continues tomorrow?

 

[King Funk]

Awww man... Play was suspended.

It was hilarious because I was watching the world cup and both matches were at half time. So in the meantime I was checking if there was anything at Wimbledon. There's that match between Isner and Mahut and both players are on their benches.

The "aces" statistics is displayed and it's like 94-88. I'm like "WTF O_O".

Then they stand up and I see the score: 53-53.

I was completely stunned and stared at the score for like 10 minutes in disbelief.

 

[Dxt XXII]

The scoreboard broke when it was at 47-47.

This match was just crazy.

 

[Dru2]

Are they still going?

 

[Vibe219]

We were watching a little of that we it had hit five hours. That's crazy they can stand that long and keep playing. But ten hours?! WOW...

 

[Masmasher@]

what channel is this on?!

 

[Dxt XXII]

It was on ESPN, but they suspended it until tomorrow because it got too dark to play.

 

[Osco316]

This is nuts.
59-59 in the fifth set? ten hours? are you kidding me?

This is ****ing awesome but whoever ends up winning this is done for the rest of the tournament. How can you recover from something like this and be able to win your next match?

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

This is ridiculous. I was amazed when I first saw the score, and that was back at 33-32. 59, that's really something.

 

[Mota]

Holy shizz this is unbelievable! O_O

The last world record was 25-23
This is at 59-59!

Isner with most individual aces at 98 at the moment, could still rise LOL

Longest match ever 10 hours
Most combined aces 193
Most games in a set 118
Longest set 7
Most games at 163

 

[~N9NE~]

It's back on, BBC red button. US smashers check ESPN online.

62-63 to Isner.

 

[MattDotZeb]

They're at match point for isner

[~N9NE~]

68 - 70 Immense. I missed it though was watching Italy.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

70? Wow, that's something special.

 

[Jon Farron]

[Mr.Freeman]

Ha, I saw the pic of that, and it looked there was a guy sitting in the front row by himself.

He looked pretty bored.

 

[Mota]

Hahaha was hoping it would reach a 100-100, but 70 is still unbelievable. Kudos to both players.

 

[Vyzor]

holy crap 0_o I would have rageguit at 1 hour

 

[Piety the Diety]

WOW!!... I thought I was the only person on smashboards who was interested in tennis. but really, thats awesome!

 

[OlimarFan]

Hahaha was hoping it would reach a 100-100, but 70 is still unbelievable. Kudos to both players.

Yeah...it's a pity that Isner got knocked out next round

 

[Terywj [태리]]

WOW!!... I thought I was the only person on smashboards who was interested in tennis. but really, thats awesome!

Yep. This match was unbelieveable. I'm not sure how many of us would have had the willpower or stamina to go on like that.
