Possibly an all-timer unfolding at Wimbledon right now. John Isner of the 70-68 fifth set fame against Kevin Anderson in the semi-finals. 7-6 6-7 6-7.... if this makes a fifth set it may never end. |

I was watching the second set before I left for work. A lot of unforced errors at the time. I'll try to stream it. |

This is kinda of the sports equivalent of the politics forum. Endless back and forth yet no one actually gaining an advantage. |

Touche, although I did enjoy procedural fighting at the Strork hearing. |

No, there does not need to be any rules change ... the announcer got a tad too self-righteous about that point right there. |

Big time. This happening every decade is more likely to draw fans to the sport. A 7-6 tiebreaker would be completely anticlimactic compared to this. The downside is the finals are likely destroyed at this point. But 5 sets of tiebreaks already left them useless most likely. |

If they break for rain, do they let Nadal/Djokovic play through? |

Isner is the king of matches like this. He’s been on so many ridiculous 5 set matches. |

Pulling for Isner, but he is waiting for a break. Has nothing left. |

This is why women shouldn’t get equal pay. These guys have played basically 7 sets right now. |
