The 5th set in the Mahut v Isner match is now longer than any full match at Wimbledon
Currently 54-53

it could be a set up...

McEnroe's slightly exaggerating to make a point but it's a good one. Footballers whinge about being tired after playing 120 minutes in 7 days. Those guys are in the middle of a 10 hour match and the winner will have to do it all again on Saturday. Mahut clearly has phenominal fitness levels and I take my hat off to both of them. Absolutely incredible!

Would be a bugger if they come back in the morning and one of them win it in 2 games.

It's horses for courses. McEnroe is whinging about that but then a pro cyclist doesn't whinge about doing 100miles a day for 3 weeks in the Tour de France. Then it'll move up one to ultra-marathons etc.

There at it again now 65-65

Isner has just clinched it...... 70 - 68

Isner lost 6-0 6-3 6-2 in just 74 minutes today
