-edit-
Well, this match has been split over 2 days. But still, they've played 6 hours of tennis today. Nuts.

holy shit....

This is amazing!

58 all. Crikey.....

Fifth set tied at 58-58. They had to stop for a bathroom break and may have to be postponed until tomorrow due to darkness.

They're dong the wave. Seriously?

i think the crowd is going a little nuts

Yeah, they're totally going to change the rules of tennis after this.

He dove!

God damn what a good day for sports this has been.

59-58 and Isner looks totally gone even though he's got advantage. If he can break it'll be over.

Isner is 6'9"?

yeah, mahut has the physical longevity to burn isner down, but damn.

Could this be it? 40-40 going for break!

Ace #95. Holy fuck.

excuse me while i eat my words. they are literally trading games like ping pong

damnit that espn link doesn't work here, kinda want to see this now

Are they stopping for the day or will Mahut withdraw?

mahut is getting testy and tired, but crowd is brutal. They may do day 3

Stopping for the night with the score tied 59-59.

DAY 3! Motherfuck!

Isner wanted to continue but Mahut talked about a stoppage and got it.

Wow.

Mahut was probably doing isner a favor. It's brutal crazy.

Good god. This is just insane.

Unreal is the only word for this one.

Holy crap!

And there headed to the court.

Even worse, Isner was scheduled to play in the first round of the Wimbledon Men's Doubles today at 7 am ET. I wonder if they had to forfeit or if they are pushing that match back, too.

Ace #100 for Isner.

ping pong game trading!

So when do you think court #18 has seen this kind of attention?

Come on, Isner! Break him!

98 aces for Mahut now.

Never. This is a total Centre Court Crowd.

I think Isner and Mahut have rigged this thing. The tennis match that never ends

By the way, Drifter. Thanks for pointing this out to us. I probably wouldn't have known about it until it was over.

Seriously Driftybot. Thanks

Its the battle of the Serves

100 aces for Mahut now.

I wonder if they are burning through Wimbledon's supply of tennis balls.

it is getting a little ridiculous can't they just flip a coin and be done with it

no way. Endurance tennis makes this awesome.

Isner is still serving over 130 mph.

ten and a half hours.

I wonder who the winner plays against!?

Nobody. He gets a golden fiddle from the devil and he gets to go home.

65 games all.

The freaking LINE JUDGE just grabbed a couple energy drinks!

I feel bad for the match judge. Those chairs look uncomfortable.

mahut looks seriously pissed that he cant put this guy away despite his superior prowess.

Mahut is serving only 110 mph. His volleys are keeping him in while Isner's serve is keeping him in.

Holy fuck what a match!

Isner wins 70-68

Way to go Isner!

oh shit, they all get a "holy fuck you played too long" medal

It's very cool they are recognizing these two.

they dont want a freaking medal. all three just want to go home after 11 hours and 5 minutes and take a bath.

Mahut looks like his life is ruined.

Is it just me or does Mahut look like a sore loser?

to be fair, he is emotionally crushed. its hard to put on a smiley face like it was nothing after 11 hours.

get this asshole commentator off the field.

They put Isner through to the THIRD ROUND!

And he stopped to sign autographs!!

I think both these men have sponsorship careers ahead

Isner is scheduled for a doubles match in half an hour? Good thing you don't do a lot of running in doubles.

I'll be impressed if he can lift his arms, much less play doubles.

Pretty sure he'll forfeit or the game will be held/cancelled.

I can play tennis for about 20 minutes. After that, I flop around like an asthmatic with congestive heart failure. That match was nuts.

Isner already had to play his second round match. He lost 6-0, 6-3, 6-2 and got zero aces.

I thought yesterday they said that he got passed through to the third round. I *know* I heard that!

They couldn't just do that, as it would be really unfair to his second round opponent.

damn. That's a bit cruel, given that his opponent didn't have to play 11 hours in successive games. But hell, it's sports. At least Mahut might feel mollified
