I can't believe there isn't more on this on here. I turned over accidently and it was 29-28....couldn't let it go without watching...it wasn't great tennis....but it was the best of competition and all guts were used
IF Isner get get loose and recovery at all.....I think this benefits him.....he wasn't going to win tonight.
Best stat......Wimbledon record for aces was 55.....in the 5th set alone Isner has 70 and Mahut has 69....THUS FAR
I was enthralled myself.

I remember thinking the Federer-Roddick match last year went forever being like 13-11 or something like that in the 5th set.
59-59 is absolutely ridiculous. As someone said upthread, you know it will be over in 2 games tomorrow.
Regarding the light issue, TV is deceiving. I remember the 2000 firestone event where Woods hit it stiff on 18 practically in the dark and on tv it still looked pretty light out. Alot of that is the camera adding more light to the shot than really exists. I have seen that kind of thing a couple of times now where it looks light on tv but is much darker in person.

142 straight games without a service break. As McEnroe would say.."you cannot be serious".

They should be taking the court here at about 10:30... ESPNU will be covering it since World Cup group F is on ESPN2

Unreal. I don't see how this ever ends. Frenchie can't handle Isner's second serve and I don't think Isner can move well enough to win points he can't control with his serve.

In other tennis news....................Rafa needed five sets to get past Haase 5-7,6-2, 3-6, 6-0, 6-3.
A lot of five-setters in the early rounds at Wimbledon this year.
Haase dropped a five-setter in the second round of the French too and Rafa improved his five-set match record to 13-3.

Working with cameras I cant attest to this. Its incredible what the 4 different filters do, as well as the ability to change the iris on them. A match stating at 9am, and ending at 10pm has the ability to not change lighting at all on TV if you have a skilled director who can change filters and iris appropriately. ESPN/ABC/CBS/etc obviously hava said directors.

During that Firestone tournament they showed us the actual light about 10 minutes before they ended it and you simply could barely see it was so dark....but it just looked like the sun going down on the tv

^^Fed claims to be having back pain and pain in his right leg.
Could be an excuse but if it is true it explains why he had so much trouble with Falla, lost a set to a qualifier and was beaten by Hewitt for the first time in forever.
Berdych faces Djokovic next.
Nadal faces Murray in the other semi
