what is going on here....

 

[MrMonkey]

Yes, saw this on ESPN after the soccer match. Now 41-40. Would think this must be a record. Don't follow tennis much any more!

 

[RogueScholar]

This is most certainly a record. The former record was 6.5 hours at the '04 French Open between Clement and Santoro (not Nicky). That one only went 16-14 in the final set, though. This is the longest set of tennis in history right now.

 

[kato]

43-43 now, omg

 

[MrX]

How is this even possible?!

 

[kato]

i am in awe right now

 

[MrX]

How hungry must these guys be?

 

[kato]

this match will not end...

 

[MrX]

I"m going to call 98-96.

 

[kato]

I"m going to call 98-96.

we might see a death

 

[MrX]

Exactly.

Living player 98, dead guy 96.

 

[kato]

it is looking that way 47-47

maybe the french aren't pussies

 

[kato]

more than halfway to the death call 50-50

 

[MrX]

Does anyone look half-dead yet? I can't take me eyes off this GER-GHA game.

[RogueScholar]

All of a sudden the US Open doesn't look so cheesy for being the only Slam that uses a tiebreaker to decide the fifth set.

 

[MrX]

Isner looks closer to death to me.

Mahut just dove for a ball.

 

[MrX]

Uh oh, 0-30
