lol first round, really? *cringe* I hope the judges can stay alert.

I am not watching the tennis match but this reminds me of a very close game that I saw years ago at a sports bar. It was Agassi vs Sampras (omg what a match!) and for the final point it went back and forth forever!!! I had to go to the bathroom so bad and was holding it for soooo longggg already, and sure enough I couldn't hold it anymore and as soon as I got up to go, I returned and it was game over. Booo!

They suspended play after ten hours on account of how the sun had gone down!

Last years final between Federer and Roddick went to 16/14 in the fifth. Nailbiter there.

They will probably change thee rules from here on out and have a set finish for the fifth set. Its all being debated ;)

i saw that earlier via Twitter. Isner is from Tampa FL so of course I hope when they resume that he is the victor. 10 hrs of tennis... play suspended on account of .. darkness. LOL!!

I like Isner anyways - all 6 foot 9 of him with an massive serve. That beign said it was the unseeded Frenchman that looked freshest after ten hours of play- I really dont know if they will be able to play today. It was being said that they would be so dehydrated after yesterday's match that they would have to be hooked up to IVs and stuff in the lockeroom.

Isner wanted to go to centre court to finish - it has the roof and the lights that can be brought over, but they said no. And today the Queen is at centre court for the first time since 1977 - and they are debating whether or not to finish this (small name) match in front of her.

Its all exciting :)
