And now fully back.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That ends my hour of vaguely caring about tennis for the year.

i don't know how many times i've flipped on a federer match to see him being completely dominated, only to rally from the cusp of defeat and win. the question isn't "when has federer come back from two sets down?" the question is "when has he failed to come back from two sets down?"

 

i hate that douchebag.

Well, Nadal seems fiesty this year, so perhaps Roger won't be getting his way this go around.

There's a tennis match that is 28-27 in the fifth set right now on ESPN2.

This is incredible. Isner isnt really built for this type of match either.

[Guest]

The third set alone has taken nearly 3 1/2 hours already. The match is approaching 6 1/2 hours.

 

There was another match today that went 16-14 in the fifth but took only four hours to play.

[Vanilla Ice]

They have set so many records. Longest match in the Open Era is one of them

[Guest]

Double match point for Isner. This thing might actually end.

[Vanilla Ice]

Nope it just cant

[Vanilla Ice]

20 matches have been started and finished during this fifth set

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm not sure I could play 7 hours of tennis in a year.

[bukie]

Still going at 48-47 in the fifth.

One of them might have to die.

50-50 now. For perspective, a typical straight-sets match has around 30 games.

I don't know if the winner can even survive their next match.

At this rate, the winner will be due on court for their next match immediately.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Wow, 53-52.

[Old Style]

unbelievable

[SpongeWorthy]

I'm waiting for Isner to take off his shoes and lay down.

[jersey cubs fan]

they are dead

[SouthSideRyan]

He's taken off his shoes and one of his socks and... actually, I think he's crying.
