Started today, and Falla is serving for the match in his first round opener against Federer...

MOD: As usual this will be the only Wimbledon "sports" thread going, please use it as such and only threads based on current events (i.e new articles and not sports related) may be started other than this thread

PS... Will Murray finally get his crown???

This match is tense! Federer has been holding on and has come very close to losing the game only to stay in it by the skin of his teeth. Pulled back a 2 set deficit to level at 2 - 2, came very close to losing the match in the third and forth set. Federer only seems to show any signs of winning when dominated the 4th set tie-break.

5th set now and he has broken his Falla's serve and held his own. Might have been a bit too much for Falla.

Looks like Federer is running away with the 5th set.

Wow. Federer loses the first two 5-7 and 4-6, wins the next two 6-4 and 7-6 (overcoming a break in the fourth), and goes on to win the fifth 6-0. Some scary moments there.

Good news though. It would have been a shame to see Federer go out so early.

The game at the moment is ridiculous (on BBC2) it`s 2 sets all and 40 games each

Gotta be some sort of record...

**Kymmy** · 23-06-2010, 19:08

Gwd, just how tall is Isner? (or is it the camera angle?)

43 all atm

Takling of Wikipedia they're upto 43-42 scores, how sad

IIRC there was once a match where most(if not all) sets were a bit like that. This was before they allowed tie breaks in sets.

55-54 atm

Love the comment on the BBC site - maybe they should just do Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Play suspended after 10 hours at 59-59 games.

Matty_ · 23-06-2010, 21:19

Fell somewhat privileged to watch that, maybe the footballers should watch it

How long they going to go tomorrow

59-59

**Damien** · 23-06-2010, 21:23

Amazing :O

Shame England will probably get the back-pages tomorrow

**Kymmy** · 24-06-2010, 16:50

After 11 hours Isner finally won

70-68

Great stats and everything else but something needs to be done - 137 games without a break of serve is ridiculous.

Was a really dire game to watch if the numbers were ignored.
