Isner-Mahut deadlock

geez christ 2 days of sweating and now for the final words:

NEVER IN DOUBT

what a choker mahut is! ;-)

Mahut showing off the French bottling ability!

he served 65 times to stay in the match. Failed once.

Who is the commentator? I've never heard such inane drivel in all my life.

That was weird - I thought I was listening to John
Mac commentating the saw him in the crowd watching
the match - first time I just though it was a
lookalike. Have just twigged it was Rusedski.

Presentation

This guy looks like he'd have died if it had gone 75-75

o god..wat is this gayness...NOW THIS IS STUPID

Special memento

Jones was reigning champ when the match started.

This is well deserved to be honest lol.

May seem stupid but I think it's justified, the chances of 70-68 would be well into the millions

Yes, well deserved

Well done umpire for controlling the match

Special presentation by the AEC!

11 hours and 5 minutes. LOL.

yEA I Know right? Rusesdki has obv lost his voice..But it sounds less crappy now.I liked this voice.I could actually listen to hiim...But he still said things like ' This is like the never ending story'..twice in space of 5 mins..

yep this is quite right

both players deserve this

great that they reached 70 imho. this record will not be broken in my lifetime, FACT!

Any bets on who gets to ref the final now? ;-)

Yeah, i hate this guff normally but I can make an exception for this.

well done mr umpire..for sitting in a chair...But i guess he had to be focused in a diff way for that long..good job

Apologies 980 pts, Mahut 502 and didn't win.

they are both winners today.


err, no they are not.

the frenchie lost.

that said, he's probably guaranteed himself a wildcard here until his mid 30s.

tell me sam

what do u remember from Verdasco - Nadal match in AUS?

the image that come to my mind is an EPIC match, with superb rallies despite playing on hard. If u ask me, i CANT TELL U THE EXACT SCORE OF THAT MATCH, i remember Nadal won in 5 sets and both played very very good.

Waht will people remember from this match?

70-68 final set.

END.

Sammy, Leyhani has been great throughout the match.

MAHUT IS UTTERLY SEETHING

"They are both winners today"

Crap, does that mean I lost?

Hope the momentos are clocks.

omg how can u put the loser of this through all of this...WRONG WRONG..WIMBELDON JUST DOING THIS FOR THEMSELVES..SELFISH POSH FOOLS

Isner is an utter giant.

This is classy

That's the thing, the last thing Mahut would want is this

you have to be a miserable fcker to criticise this

great touch and scenes

feel very said for Mahut, I think he had the more complete grass court game.

this is totally out of order. self indulgent sh1t from the bbc at mahut's expense.

Mahut only earned about 60 quid a game for that

Can picture someone just switching on wondering why the final is on the first Thursday on court 18.

For the winner it's great, yes

Will you remember where you were forever on this day of days....?

mahut getting great reception and can hang his head so high

sure he doesnt mind any of this

"A true French Hero"

i reckon there is no other frenchman playing today who has held his serve to stay in a match in his career, as many times as isner did in this match.

mahut going to make a few quid out of all this

sure he doesnt mind one bit

Continue....

Of course that was an epic match ...as was nadal fed final at wimby 2008..But they are different types of matches..That is the beauty of tennis..Yes there were less good rallies..But what is also intriguing is the pysical and mental attributes needed for this..Ok they are not best of returners..But to go through that is very commendable and just so unique for many reasons..That is why it's classic

How can you really watch this again of course..Will be tough to make a best of clip..
But this shows how tough you need to be in a sport many non tennis fan's consider to be not very physical

Good for sport, good for tennis..Good for them...Good for wimby..But they milked it more than a farmer with a farm of horny cows

Inverdale seems to think he does

He actually thinks he was worrying about serving to stay in for 65 games.

Serving first in circumstances like this means absolutely nothing.

court 18 is fecked now

Morons in the crowd, booing ffs

wtf is up with the dumb crowd?

The photo will forever record that Mahut was p1ssed off at losing.

70-68 how the **** is that possible

Could you sit through watching it again though?
Even for a bet...?

ERGH WIMBY JUST DOING THIS FOR THEIR OWN POSTERITY NOW...THIS IS SICKENING AND MILKING THE WHOLE THING SOOOOOO MUCH...

THINK ABOUT MAHUT U IDIOTS...

sad gits just waant their photo so they can say they were there.

Might have to next round Journeyman.

God knows what BBC will do when it's 75-77 to De Bakker.

"think about nicholas mahut"

yep, just like you did john, you smug little ****.

In fairness Mahut will get a WC out of this next year

the cameramen of the world.

that tickled me that line, not sure why.

2nd round ya ****

his threw to the 2nd rd ya mug

get in there isner

"You're due on the doubles in half an hour"

Like Don said, should be for quite a few years after this.

and the moral of the story:

always back the player who serves first in the final set when things go crazy

Wonder who the doubles returns will be coming at.

isner after turnin into a superstar lol

imo Mahut lost this match yesterday when he decided to stop.

Maybe he was tired too as Isner was, But Isner serve last 5 games went from 215Km/h to 170Km/h. If u stop, u give Isner the chance to recover and be able to serve bombs again.

Mahut yesterday decision was not good at all. Easy to say this now, i know, but i couldnt understand Mahut decision the way Isner was moving last games yesterday.

Well he said he couldn't see  the ball too well
so a bit of a Hobson's choice for him there, wasn't it?

Isner + Mahut = Ah , terminus 

also   =   **** manure   

A 'Where were you' moment.  On the betfair forum

'Where were you' moment? Do I have to list everywhere I've been during the 3 days duration of this match?

Why don't they consider a first-to-ten-points-and-three-points-ahead-to-win tie-break instead of the two points required at the moment.

why are they getting a presentation ?? Wimbledon is so up it's own aarse it's laughable

It would need to be four points ahead VV, otherwise serving first becomes an advantage I think.

Because they smashed so many records, played for over 11 hours and left themselves with little to no chance of making further rounds, with the exception of playing a 'short 5 setter' playing opponent in the next round.

Warrants recognition in my opinion.

(To Lori)

Either way it would lead to some amazing trading opportunities.

did anyone make megger money on this fix.???????

Anybody know what was the final volume traded on the match. Thanks

Approx 12,000,000

I sold total games at £25 a point on Sporting Index pre-match. :(

I wonder what the net amount traded was (on which
BF would have actually earned commission).

The gross amount includes all the money traded back
and forth over and over again.

looks like the clever dicks made mega then,perhaps this was the biggest con since the war in arrack

how much was the market total ?

I'll let you know when it's finished

Marathon man still going strong.

I have been laying the server for 36 games and have a huge red.

Now I am changing and only need about 40 service games to turn it to green.

I am preety confident though

great post at 36-36 lol

So who else is rewatching this match to get hyped up for the rematch?

Where can I watch the entire match?

Can't wait

an alltime betfair classic thread this.

can you just imagine the atmosphere at 7-7 5th set and both serving well

Been deadlocked since Friday at 0-0, 0-0, 0-0. Is this a new record?

this record could be set in stone after today's announcement, though there was a caveat

"The Grand Slam Board plan to review the trial during the course of a full Grand Slam year before applying for any permanent rule change," a statement on behalf of all four Grand Slam chiefs read.


unbreakable anyway.

I sadly don't see them going back on this.
