I think 4.5 hours (more now) just today. This is the 2nd day they've been playing, right? Now, they'll be playing tomorrow for the 3rd day in a row.

Something like 6-3, 4-6, 7-6, 6-7, 54-54. Roughly 10 hours on the court. :shock:

The little dude is in better shape, but the big dude has the monster serve.

Isner finally wins the last set 70-68. Lots of incredible stats here including both players serving over 100 aces. And although Mahut lost, he had to serve to stay in the match over 60 times because Isner served first in the 5th. Tremendous mental strength shown by both players and it was sad that someone had to lose, but at least they're both going into the record books.
