Remarkable
Longest match in tennis history, still ongoing as of this writing. Isner and Mahut are on serve, with Isner leading 59–58. That’s games, not points. Fifth set, not for the match.
The match has now past nine hours. The fifth set is longer than any other match played at Wimbledon this year. They’re in danger of being stopped for darkness for the second day in a row.
Even more remarkable? The Wimbledon Live Blog reports: “There have been no toilet breaks in this match, not one.”
