    Game 68.

    The word "epic" should've been used by now.

    So... epic.

    70th game.

    Isner hasn't even faced a break point in the 5th set.

    Wow, didn't know that.

    Isner just hit a 2nd serve ace at deuce to tie either the Wimbledon or all-time record for aces in a match.

    36-35. On we go.

    Epic, epic...

    Somebody has to fall apart soon is my feeling, i.e., the next few games. It's just that time.

    Kind of hate to be missing this. I've been in a meeting all morning. And am about to be heading home. Wonder if it will still be going on by then.

    Unbelievable, the funny thing is that the winner will have to play DE Bakker (Dutch) who won his match in the 5th set with 16-14.

    I have never seen a game that lasted this many games.

    The Dutch guy was probably worried about fatigue for his next match. Then this... :grin:

    Nobody has seen a set or match like this. History is being made.

    Maybe Isner should shotgun a giant Red Bull or Monster and get that thing over with.

    Has anybody ever seen an arm fall off a body from overuse?

    40-39...

    Mahut seemed to get a burst of energy a few moments ago but Isner held it down on serve.

    Mahut looks fresher.
