Is it just me or has Wimbledon been very boring so far? It's you.  By the way did you watch the 2010 French Open? Talk about boring.  And seeing Federer come from 2 sets down in round 1 at Wimbledon wasn't exaclty boring. Federer-Falla was as SEWTA as men's tennis gets. The 2010 French Open had some decent matches (Djoko-Melzer, Soderling-Fed, Berdych-Soderling, Stosur-Ree, Stosur-Henin, Henin-Masha, Stosur-Franny and Nadia beating Venus was fun to watch)..and ofcourse KDK beating Safina. I know it's only Day 4, but...eh. |

It's 63 games all in the final set of the Isner / Mahut match! It's you. By the way did you watch the 2010 French Open? Talk about boring. And seeing Federer come from 2 sets down in round 1 at Wimbledon wasn't exaclty boring. Seriously. Why? We know what you're talking about, you don't need to restate the obvious every time you post. |

Kooky is leading Caravane 3-0 in set 3. Kooky serving like a top-5 player, Caravane DFing, erroring, etc and I hope it keeps up. But Kooky is kooky, so ...

Isner leads Mahut 68 - 67 in the fifth set. Isner has 111 aces and Mahut has 103 aces. I never thought I'd see a men's tennis player get 60 aces in a match so both of these players getting more than 100 aces and still counting is absolutely remarkable. It doesn't make this match great but it is remarkable at the very least.

4-0 for Kooky now. She's putting Caravane on the defensive & making her look sluggish and out of her depth. Why is this good Kooky so rarely around?

Here we go -- Caravane about to break. Kooky must have thought about what she was about to achieve. |

Horrible service game from Kooky right on SEWTA schedule. Please break again, Kooky! |

It's over. Poor Mahut!  And the screaming is distracting Kooky, as if she needs that.  |

John Isner d. Nicolas Mahut 6 - 4, 3 - 6, 6 - 7 (9), 7- 6 (3), 70 - 68 to advance to the second round of Wimbledon! ;D  |

Kooky served it out to love! Wow! Good riddance, Rezai.  Never seen so much eye makeup in a match in my life. I swear Kooky had on false eyelashes, and Caravane is the eyeliner queen, of course. She looks good in it, though. |

Who knows, maybe the Queen is planning to leave after the Murray match so they didn't want to put Serena to avoid the "The Queen doesn't give a fuck about Serena" controversy. Instead they put a match NOC. Good call; apparently the Queen did leave after Mopey the Brit played. In retrospect, it seems obvious that she wasn't going to be hanging around for match after match. I don't think she even likes tennis. |

John Isner (USA) d. Nicolas Mahmut (FRA) ... 70-68 in a hell of a tennis match! I felt bad for Mahut from France in the post-match shenanigans, however. Losing a tennis match like that had to be crushing. Next year, Ivo Karlovic (CRO) needs to be healthy for 2011 Wimbledon and play John Isner from the United States of America on the grass courts and play 178691-178689 that lasts 47 months and Wimbledon in Great Britain in England in London is never played again. The end.

The goofy ceremony where they gave both players oversized gifts, and forced an interview. Mahut wanted to leave. He's probably quite tired and pissed.

Damn, Rafa is 2 sets to 1 down. Some crappy play from him.
Definitely not the upset I want to happen.
And wow a Isner/Mahut, I wasn't at home yesterday, so I checked several times to see who finally won the match and couldn't believe they were still playing.

Rafa is through! I think he hasn't lost a point on his serve in the 5th set.
Why Wimbledon crowd gets so excited about aces?
