really like your posts, instudiocity....but we colonists have to be careful with the Queen's English, you know....it's Wimbledon with a "d".....

 

and I think the match was called due to darkness a while ago....

I'm hoping to see some of the video. When two players are this closely matched, it's fun to watch!

 

The match was indeed called for darkness, tied at 59-59!

 

A normal tennis match runs 3-4 hours. JUST THE SIXTH SET of this one has been going on for more than 7 hours.

 

Remarkable.

The poor guy flamed out today. He just had nothing left.

 

I think I posted a picture of him in that hot tennis players thread I started a few months ago. I'm not sure he's the hottest thing around, but he's 6-10 and has size 15 feet so you can all do that math on that one.

 

Then again, maybe the only true universal maxim is that guys that have big feet wear big shoes?

Isner has the sweetest face one could imagine on a guy who is 6'9" and 250 lbs.
