A true Englishman doesn't watch a tennismatch between a Yank and a frog when England plays a very important football game.

I think it just went past the record for longest match at Wimbledon ever (6 hours, 9 minutes).
▼
mini 23 Jun 2010, 18:21
# Longest match: At the 2004 French Open, Fabrice Santoro took 6 hours, 33 minutes to defeat Arnaud Clément 6–4, 6–3, 6–7(5), 3–6, 16–14.[1]

Did anyone win?
▼
Adacore 23 Jun 2010, 18:44

Parent

Adacore 23 Jun 2010, 18:38
Already happened yesterday, wouldn't surprise me at all if it went to a third day.
Parent

Adacore 23 Jun 2010, 18:40
Record for aces in a match for one player is 78... Isner 4 aces away.

EDIT: They've already blown away the record for total aces, which was 96 (current combined total is 138).

Wesbo 23 Jun 2010, 18:42
Whoever they're gonna be playing next is gonna be so happy with this..
▼
im a tree 23 Jun 2010, 18:44
They have to play tomorrow! (Unless this game goes to a 3rd day which it very well might)
Parent
▼
Wesbo 23 Jun 2010, 18:45
I know so no way they'll make it to the third round anyway
Parent
▼
Adacore 23 Jun 2010, 18:46
I think their opponent had to play a 5-set match which went to something like 16:14 in the 5th set too...
Parent
▼
Wesbo 23 Jun 2010, 18:48
I = If? Still nothing compares to this.

E: Ah I see it's de Bakker :> lucky Dutchie is lucky!

almost over, but not yet, epic, its alike an ET 9th mapper :)

Record for most ever games in a match at Wimbledon.

Holy fuck, they're still playing. BTW sunbathing for almost 7 hours is unhealthy, dear audience!

No problem, not with the ammount the sun turned during this match :)

This is epic. And the real winner is the guy that will meat one of them in the next round^^.
▼
im a tree 23 Jun 2010, 19:22
true, though that guy has to recover too since he played 5 sets ending 16:14 in the 5th :!
Parent

Dreamweaver 23 Jun 2010, 19:28
The commentary touched an interesting idea. He who eventually wins will become the guy who won the longest match in history, so even if either mahut or isner loses in the next round (due to physical weakness), playing to exhaustion today is worth it.
Parent
▼
dEVJE 23 Jun 2010, 19:27
and Isner need to face Przysiezny in the doubles :DD
Parent
▼
Adacore 23 Jun 2010, 19:33
I imagine he'll retire in the doubles, if he wins this.
Parent
▼
NightRaver 23 Jun 2010, 19:35
why? if he has the stamina to do this... he can go on for an hour more in the doubles.
At least he has a team mate to do the running for him :D

Hope the game is over soon, have to go to a pokernight in 15mins :/
