I'm sure these guys are BEAT! Not really going to matter who wins unless the winners gets some rain delays before their next match because their legs are going to be shot!

Unbelievable...Just nutz, they are playing a whole tournament worth of games in one match.

I figured they were gonna have to stop play so they could mow the grass.

[RaginCagin]

This is unreal. 193 aces so far.

Resumes at 9am in the morning on one of the ESPNs. I hope that Isner pulls it out. Don't really care for tennis, but I love sports history and I love it anytime an American pulls thru

[bdavid1020]

This match is unbelievable... I hate that I am going to have to miss it in the morning. hope the 6'9" Isner pulls it out!!

[keep]

Mahut has the second most aces in a match in the history of tennis. Ironically, Isner has the first with 3 more than him, I think.
I've watched Isner before and he can spank the ball with that long power stroke of his.
