Is anyone watching the match between Isner and Mahut on at the moment> Not usually a big tennis fan but they're up to 35 games each in the last set.
7 hour long match. Longest ever. wow

flick1980: what was the record before now???


Are we back to tennis now?? laugh

Not sure what the record was before but I know the 5th set has beaten it without taking into account the rest.

live commentary from bbc.co.uk

Isner holds to love and practically crawls back to his chair as the set moves past six and a half hours. Big John leads 56-55 but decides against a banana on this changeover as he probably doesn't have the energy to peel it.

Honestly, and as obvious as this sound, the only thing you missed was watching it. After 4 hours of them just holding serve in the last set, my eyes were nearly bleeding I was so bored.
History in the making, sure. But it would be like watching the Berlin wall go down one.... brick..... at a time
