That’s more points than has been scored in all of World Cup Soccer 2010...
and probably more points than the Detroit Lions have scored the past two seasons......

John Isner is one of the best servers in the business.
Mahut is a grass specialist. Both are ok grass players who have never had a breakout at wimbledon. For Mahut, it’s been difficult draws, and for Isner, he usually gets broken once and that’s enough.

A bad week for the frogs.Respectfully, that's a bit off. Both Marut and Isner deserve our frank admiration.
I don't enjoy watching tennis. But I recognize epic gladiatorial combats when I see them.

I don't enjoy watching tennis. But I recognize epic gladiatorial combats when I see them. I can only take it in small doses, but this was an epic match, by all accounts.

Oh, geez, I was just talking about the fact that they lost the longest match in tennis history the same week they got dumped from the World Cup. I wasn’t taking anything away from Mahut. Go sit down...”respectfully”.

Incredible effort by both players....was almost late for work watching the end, but didn't want to miss it.
True sport history.
