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!

Match just got suspended due to darkness.

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

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?

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.

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...

A crummy world of plot holes and spelling errors
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?

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

He looked pretty bored.

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