    Think Nadal is a cert meself. Murray not really bein in good form this year, and think Rafa will beat Federer in the final.;)

    Anyone watching the Isner vs Mahut match? Been going over 7 hours, in the final set but it's currently tied 36 games each! Unreal:eek:

    This is incredible. Just turned on 49-49 games all in the 5th set!

    Unreal, the longest set ever in any competition, its the equivalent of 8 sets now

    The 2 players are literally about to collapse with exhaustion any minute

    Whats the deal here? Do they play until someone dies or just until it gets dark?

    Love this quote

    2002: Mahut gets two break points!!! His first of the set........ Ace, smash, deuce. Isner looks almost as disappointed as Mahut as it dawns on him that it means he's got to keep playing. Humans were not designed for this. Isner 51-50 Mahut

    This is great stuff!Isner is bolloxed!Hope he can pull out a victory,but just cant see it.He has a huge advantage by serving first in this set.

    This set alone is longer than any game in the history of Wimbledon!
