Sport Longest ever tennis match in progress

[Lamp]

John Isner v Nicolas Mahut

2 sets each
Currently 43 games all !
Been playing for 8 hours

Isner has served a record 84 aces, aided by his massive serving power and 206cm height (2 inches taller than me lol)

BBC2 now

 

[pikeh]

Thats pretty intense.

 

[Ch3tan]

Mahut 45 - 46 Isner right now. With Mahut at 30- love on his service. This could go on some time!

 

[ileks]

Couldn't they have waited a couple of weeks to start Wilbledon? I really like watching it but the world cup is on

 

[Shagrat]

well these two might still be there in a couple of weeks.....

 

[Ch3tan]

48-49 now, the only way I see this ending is if one of them drops dead tbh. They just cannot break serve, too tired.

 

[soze]

Isner is starting to fade but at 51 - 52 who can blame him lol

 

[Cerb]

its hard to know which to watch, the tennis or the football

 

[Lamp]

59-58 now lol

 

[Lamp]

play suspended due to poor light 59-all

amazing game

 

[Calaen]

It's been really enjoyable!

Madness, watched the last hour and loved it.

 

[Lamp]

LMAO @ John Mcenroe's comments

"these football pussies: 22 of em, with subs, play 90 minutes and they have 5 days off between games"

these 2 tennis guys have been playing non stop for 7 hours today

 

[soze]

I think he was right i don't know if the big yank will make it out tomorrow.

 

[Lamp]

he looked absolutely fooked

 

[cHodAX]

Lol they are at it again. Now 67-67 and 11 hours in. :lol:

 

[soze]

Thats amazing they are back today apart form the tour de france ect what sport expects you to kill yourself day after day.

 

[cHodAX]

Finally

 

[Lamp]

nice little presentation at the end as well

even tho both players were itching to get the hell off court lol

 

[Gahn]

I reckon the one who lost it will suddenly suicide

 

[Rulke]

I reckon the one who lost it will suddenly suicide

He was back on court playing doubles 3 hours later, mental!

 

[megadave]

poor bastards missed the best day so far of the world cup

 

[kiliarien]

ROFL then after all that Isner goes out and gets totally spanked in the next round. I bet he must be thinking 'Why the f*ck did I bother??'

They should have given him extra time off after that tbh, not really very fair of them to make him play so soon.
