Re: Amazing Tennis match

We just got in and saw the last few points.
Even after 6 hours the standard of play was awesome (sorry!)

Where does that kind of stamina come from, in this humidity

Re: Amazing Tennis match

Certainly shows footballers up who play for a mere ninety minutes (and with a good break in between)

I just rang my dad on way home from gym and he told me about that match. He said how long it had gone on and also he said he thought he was watching Land of the Giants coz both blokes were almost 7ft!!

Re: Amazing Tennis match

And Isner was involved in the longest ever match against Mahut and took eleven hours five minutes. Time for a tie break in the fifth set maybe?

That will have to be considered, Anderson is now going to be disadvantaged for the final. Both men were exhausted, to the point of collapse, I was just watching.
