59:59 and stopped due to bad light!

Masses of world records - longest match, most aces, you name it, and it ain't finished yet!

I will be tuning in tomorrow, what an awesome game. Makes a mockery of other sports man than claim cramps after 60 minutes.

Records smashed, the human body taken to absolute extremes, great entertainment and what does the crowd do?
Sit on their backside and boo them for wanting to come off...then chanting we want more. What a bunch of selfish, unappreciating oafs. How embarrassing.

Nicolas Mahut and John Isner. Never heard of them before and havent really been following the tennis as the football is on but this enthralled me and I couldnt stop watching. 59-59 in the 5th set is just something else.

Who ever serves first would have an unfair advantage. Thats why its first to 2 clear sets.

An amazing match, they each have very strong serves and the ability to keep fighting even though they are almost on their knees. My guess is that the continuation of the match could be a short anti climax, but you never know. I look forward to seeing it anyway.
