200+ winners from both players. Isner closing in on Ivo's ace record (and Mahut not far behind).

****ing unbelievable.

Oh and before someone quotes my posts from last year after the Roger vs. Roddick final, which I defended strongly... that had rallies and was edge of your seat stuff. Not even a comparison.

I am still very much against tie-breaks in fifth sets of Grand Slams. Not every epic 5th set is as boring as this ****.

I mean Fox Sports just changed away from the match to show Groth play!

Totally agree. I fear this match might lead the call - particularly from the Americans - for a fifth set tiebreaker.

Isner just needs to add a few more strings to his bow,

Yep. Hopefully the All England Club tell them to **** off. Imagine the Fed/Nadal 2008 final ending in a tiebreak. Would not have felt right at all.



Anyway, surely Isner is just going to die soon? Looks so ****ing tired. He needs to break before it gets to 40-40 (lol) otherwise any games after that and he'll be really struggling.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Haha Mahut saves one!

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Saves both! FMD

**** me.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Haha what an awesome rally.

The hilarious thing is I think the winner of Isner/Mahut plays De Bakker, who beat Giraldo 16-14 today.

 

[Jono]

Match point gabashviliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!

If he beats Kohlschreiber I'll be sooooooo happy.

Haha yup! Tomorrow, too.

I think Isner might be withdrawing from his doubles fixture this afternoon, which might pay back Querrey for Roland Garros.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

On a bright note, we're closing in on deuce in the fifth set.

 

[Bobisback]

He needs to break before it gets to 40-40 (lol) otherwise any games after that and he'll be really struggling.

Not looking so lol anymore.

Agreed, was glad Groth came onto Fox Sports, this is much better even without visual

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

****ing hate delayed telecasts here in Perth. Still early in the first set:

 

[Adamc]

That's just ridiculous. Four hour set, wtf.

 

[Jarquis]

Isner looks like he just wants to collapse.

 

[Adamc]

Might have to abandon the game, don't think tennis players can count higher than 40.

 

[Bobisback]

39-40...errr... Deuce?

300 Minutes in the 5 set. Crazy.
