John Isner wins 70-68 in 5th set at Wimbledon

John Isner has defeated Nicholas Mahaut in an 11 hour 5 minute marathon match. The 5th set was 138 games long. There are no words to put this into perspective. There will most definitely never be a match as long as this.

Italy eliminated from World Cup!

Paraguay and Slovakia have moved on after an incredible finish to another game. Italy just did not deserve to move on after the way they played throughout the tournament. Slovakia wins 3-2 after a frantic finish. This is a must see finish to a game. Italy almost equalizes late to move on, but it was to little to late.

Closing in on 11th hour Isner vs Mahut Match

66 to 66 5th set with no end in sight at Wimbledon in the Isner vs Mahut match. There has not even really been close to a service break in quite a while. Make the score 67 to 67 in the 5th set now.

Mahut vs Isner Continues at Wimbeldon

This match at 62 to 62 in the 5th set is impossible to stop watching. How they have kept their concentration is incredible. Over ten hours of tennis. I like tennis, but I am a huge soccer fan. Never thought I would change the channel from the world cup, but this is history. There is not much that could compare to this marathon. These service gamnes are being held pretty easily at the moment. As I write this it is now 63 to 63 in the 5th set. Will continue to update.
