Anyone watching the tennis?

There is an amazing match going on - Isner and Mahut are battling it out in their 5th set. They have 44 games EACH! This set alone has lasted for over 5 hours. I'm not mad about tennis but this is enthralling.

I am, its been an Epic game and its still going on

 

[Pinky166]

I am too.....it's madness! The scoreboard is currently blank as it can't cope with 50 games ALL!

My DD wants to know when they had their dinner, and if they get to go and have a break.

 

[darthtatty]

Im watching too, fab game.
wonder how long theyll play for?...if it keeps going on.

 

[Pinky166]

I think it may well get dark before they finish!!!

The worrying thing is the winner is due to play again tomorrow!

 

[darthtatty]

Theyve played at least 5 hours today havent they (from what i read)
Hopefully theyll get the next match moved.

Yeah I think it's 6 hours & 20mins today (the whole of the 5th set basically), I think they will have to move tomorrows match - no way can the winner play again tomorrow...

Apparantly theyve played for around 9 and 1/2 hours so far

This fifth set alone has been longer than any other match in tennis history.

Yes some of that was yesterday though (the first 4 sets). Today they have played approx 7 hours.

 

[jjk]

play has been supended until tomorrow

 

[darthtatty]

cant believe they booed them

like the panto lol.
Sure itll be over in a few minutes tomorrow.xx

 

[Pinky166]

cant believe they booed them

I know .....but it must be quite frustrating as they want to see the end of the match, they won't get back in tomorrow.

I hope they get a good nights sleep! They are going to ache tomorrow.

I'm surprised that Mahut called a halt to play when Isner looked as though he was on the point of keeling over any moment.

Whoever wins is going to be worn out for his next match.

(As for meals, if it were a cricket match they'd have had a lunch and tea break.)

Fantastic match - I was just enthralled watching it. It sad to see that someone has to lose.

I will be surprised if they are able to walk tomorrow.

 

[darthtatty]

Game, Set & Match.......

Its finally over at 68-70.

It lasted 11 hours and 5 mins.

 

[Dimplenose]

Where did that last hour and a half go?

Amazing, amazing match.

Watching TV and feel like "just let the poor players get to the changing rooms!" - the presentation was a nice idea but the interview afterwards was totally unnecessary.
