Titanic struggle, dull to watch but amazing feat to play that long

This is why Tennis is only on the telly once a year.

Because it's really shit most of the time.

The US Open, the French Open and the Australian Open are all on tv.

Anderson won't have any stamina left for the final, so it's either Nadal or Djokovic on Sunday as champion.

Amazing tussle over 6 and a half hours.

Change the hours to mins and you've just described my sex life.

On a serious note Isner looked absolutely knackered in the last game, it was like his serve being broken had taken everything he had left out of him.

Can’t understand all the fuss about how tennis now needs to change and limit the final set. Might not be amazing for the audience, but surely it is incumbent on the player to be able to break their opponent? It’s pretty farcical that two fairly average players who are well into their 30s are in a semi and slugging it out when neither seemed to be able to do much except serve, but surely this is the fault of the younger generation rather than wholesale rule changes?

Worrying times for tennis ahead, once the big 4 (3?) finale retire.

Beautiful weather in London.

It's pitch dark here.

Floodlights under the roof. Play stops at 11 I think

Shame they didn't schedule the semis the other way around, with this match played first, followed by the 7 hour freak show.
