Incredible Wimbledon Match

John Isner and Nicholas Mahut are tied up in the 5th set at 33 all!! The match is closing in on the 7-hour mark.

Watching that match would suck! You'd need a lunch break in there.

142 combined aces. Third and fourth sets went to tiebreakers as well. 36-35 Isner still on serve.

Incredible. I imagine the players waiting to use that court next are wishing they would hurry up and end this.

They should just move that match to another court. Of course they only have a couple more hours of daylight left.

Re: Incredible Wimbledon Match

Apparently these players don't get their serve broken much. The 3rd and 4th sets both went to tiebreakers and now a 42-41 5th set.
