In Case You Aren't Getting Enough Sports Drama From The World Cup....

[filkertom]

Isner and Mahut tied at 59-59 after two days at Wimbledon. By far the longest tennis match in history (the last set is longer than the previous record game). Second straight day with the match called on account of darkness.

When one or the other finally falls, the standing O for both will be heard 'round the world.

Is it that they're both good, or really bad???

They're that evenly matched, and both have made heroic efforts. It's an astonishing feat for each of them.

I will never complain about a 4-hour baseball game again.

Neither guy can really touch the other's service game - Isner still looks exhausted though, I would think he will physically give out first - but I thought that starting at about 45-45 last night too. 64-64 now. Regarding the question are they that good or that bad, it's been more a testament to guts and mental toughness, and great serves, but it's certainly not been bad tennis at all.

Even if you're not a sports fan (like me), you have to recognize that this was something well beyond the norm, and worth noting.
