Break points. I vaguely remember seeing those before somewhere...

*goes to look them up on Wikipedia*

A break point occurs if the receiver, not the server, has a chance to win the game in the next rally. Break points are of particular importance because serving is generally advantageous.

Wouldn't you love Mahut to break and then Isner to break back  biggrin

Actually Mahut's just steadily wearing Bg John down, be ready to pounce in err a dozen games or so  smile

Love the commentator :

"Continuing to go with serve so deep into the 5th set"

Err, yeah, pretty deep,  I'd say unfathomable  disbelief.gif

Including qualifying, Mahut has now played 15 more games @Wimbledon 2010 than Roger Federer had to play to win the whole thing in 2009! (that's even with Fed's epic v Duckboy in the Final!)

And John Inverdale has just asked John McEnroe if the match should be stuck on Centre Court with the roof lights or if it should be allowed to go to a THIRD day? McEnroe says stick'em on Centre Court because both men NEED the relief of someone winning.

Inverdale has pointed out that last night in the highlights show they discussed whether Isner vs Mahut should be put on Centre Court to finish, and that if they HAD done that last night, that Isner and Mahut would not have finished before dawn today. rofl.gif

Awesome stuff.

Guardian blog is hilarious, loving it!

Hilarious tweeting from the other tennis players. Twitter overloaded a short time ago, there was so much traffic.

Jamie Murray:

"Mahut moving around the court like it's 34-34." laughing.gif

My goodness, Isner has a MATCH POINT!!!!! shocked.gif

EDIT: Aaaaaand Mahut chooses this moment to serve up an ace.

Andy Murray:

"This is why tennis is one of the toughest sports in the world, this will never ever be matched again."

ACETennisMag:

" Incidentally, #Isner now second-highest trending topic worldwide."

Have you ever heard an umpire so happy to say the word 'advantage'?

Wonder where they'll schedule it tomorrow. Would they risk it taking up centre for the whole day?

McEnroe, Henman and Inverdale debated whether or not Isner vs Mahut ought to be moved to Centre Court tomorrow, so they will play in front of the Queen, in recognition of their efforts. Henman says no. McEnroe disagrees and would like to see that happen.
