Wimbledon 2010

[Jack's Smirking Revenge]

I suppose it makes sense to start with the unbelievable match between Nicolas Mahut and John Isner yesterday. Currently the longest tennis match in history, at 10 hours of play. 2 sets all, 59 games each in the fifth set. Neither player has managed to break the other's serve in the fifth set. It's absolutely incredible. They're due to resume play at some point today, I think.

I wouldn't usually watch Wimbledon, but that was absolutely insane. I can't believe they managed to last ten hours and have to start again today. They got a standing ovation. How they managed to hold out that long is beyond me.

Wow, ten hours? That's incredible. How they've done that is beyond me. I top my hat off to them and in this weather as well, that's amazing. I almost always watch the tennis matches every year. I hear Serena and Venus Williams are going to be teaming up in the doubles matches, they're going to be deadly.

That eleven hour match was crazy stuff, there'll never be anything like it again probably.

I'm not a huge fan of grass court tennis but Wimbledon is worth watching usually, and I'm hoping Federer claims another title. He's looking a little rusty so far though.
