6-4 3-6 6-7 7-6 ...

70-68?! American John Isner defeats (or exhausts) Frenchman Nicolas Mahut.

Now that's a tennis match worth remembering. Too bad all the sports channels on TV were broadcasting early round world cup soccer. Nothing like watching reading a monumental/historical/record smashing sports event via live blog.

Since Wimbledon doesn't participate in the 5th set tiebreak rule the game exceeded 11 hrs over three days. Too bad Isner is probably too wiped to do well in his upcoming matches but go USA tennis (and soccer).

Matt and I watched every hour of that match. INTENSE. I now have a crush on John Isner :)
