    No thread on this??

    Isner and Mahut are tied at 59-59 in the fifth set of their first-round match. :eek: It's gone on for 10 hours so far and is due to resume tomorrow for its third day.

    The winner faces De Bekker in the next round, who after being drained by a match that finished 16-14 in the fifth himself probably can't believe his luck.

    They played 980 points. It kind of defies understanding. The final set alone had as many games as 15-20 consecutive sets.

    It was a great match indeed. Perhaps one of the most fascinating in tennis history.
