I like how they've been saying for over an hour now that Isner's legs are too tired to carry him much farther.. (BBC coverage)

That is just crazy. Hope those guys get to rest a bit before playing again.

Phew. 59 games all in the 5th set. Bad light stopped play. I was beginning to think I would need to stay up all night :)

I saw a couple of hours towards the end. Isner looked totally lacking in energy but just wouldn't quit. Sadly now I won't be home to see the end. It will probably be a big anti-climax though because they'll probably wake up so stiff they won't be able to play good tennis.

SUSPENDED! I've been on it all day, a big tennis fan myself. The match has been suspended until tomarrow AGAIN because of darkness. Current score is 59 to 59 games in this run.

Okay, they're back on court. I wonder how much longer this can go on.

which both players have surpassed ."

What makes this match even more amazing is that it's a seed against a qualifier.

Well it's over. 70-68 to Isner. He looked out of it physically for so long, I don't know how he did it.

They asked John Isner about the doubles match he is supposed to play in about half an hour. If Wimbledon can't postpone it, there's no justice.
