Federer had to battle in the 1st round, and lost a set to a bum in the 2nd(and hasn't put him away yet in the 4th), maybe the decline will happen faster than thought
absolutely sick match going between Isner/Mahut 42/41 and not looking like it'll end soon lol
Nadal looked good in his first match, a 2nd win here would really help his legacy as a great player outside of RG
65 and 69 aces in 5th set. The most amazing thing to me is one guy only has 3 double faults in 5th set.. same amount he had in the 4th. 0/5 break for both players in break points in 5th set.
I predict that some of the ugliest tennis you will ever see will be played tomorrow.. that is if they can both manage to even get to the court and suit up.
Too bad Isner/Mahut is completely overshadowed by the World Cup. I watch all the crappy Masters events as well and even I had to go with football. Caught some parts of Federer's matches, he was actually decent in both. This guy today was serving incredibly and smacked winners left and right. I wouldn't read too much into it. Yet.
Hope Isner/Mahut will not be totally anticlimatic tomorrow.
this match blows my fucking mind. if this doesn't prove that tennis players should be mentioned among the world's greatest athletes, i don't know what will. this is a first round match between guys who aren't that close to being the best of the best.
been watching Wimbledon faithfully this year...those upsets the other day were wild...both Clijsters and Venus went down....I watched Venus play, she really wasn't playing smart out there....
