    I'm pulling for Isner but it looks to me like he won't be able to go much longer.

    It looked like he was just guiding his last of couple of serves in his last service game for the first time since I've been watching.

    Wow, he just whiffed on a backhand shot. He may make it through this service game but Mahut is bouncing around and Isner is losing it.

    Yeah Isner is really struggling with his movements.

    It's pretty noticeable.

    Really hope Mahut gifts him this game somehow.

    How long before these guys give in due to fatigue?

    Good question. Isner seems to be succumbing to it more than Mahut right now.

    This match was continued from yesterday so they didn't play all 7+ hrs today.

    Wow, another complete and total whiff by Isner.

    Not looking good for him.

    Wow, Isner is just dragging himself around but held again.

    Game 86.

    I've been wondering the same thing.

    I'm not sure it'll matter.

    I just can't see Isner going much longer.

    I think they have about 2 more hours before it gets dark.

    And Isner holds again.

    Unlike earlier though, Mahut is doing more on Isner's serve than vice versa.

    C'mon, Mahut. Choke right here.

    They called it at 9:09 yesterday. It's 7:16 now, so about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

    I'm rooting for Isner but at this point, I can't see him breaking Mahut's serve unless Mahut just chokes.
