The game has ended!

John Isner won - 70 games to 68!
Mahut looks like he's able to cry... T_T
They've been given a 'special memento', along with the (literally) long-suffering umpire. Poor Mahut has to hang around for photos, speeches, etc.

Is Isner due to play a doubles game later this afternoon?!
The people around me are following the football, apart from one person, who was listening on the radio and mentioned out loud that Isner had won, just when I was watching the final serve (TV is slightly behind the radio).

Phew....

Neverending game

I'm watching the Wimbledon, court 18 to be precise, the John Isner vs Nicholas Mahut match. It's very compelling, unbelievable how the games just keep going on and on. Currently 64 games each, and apparently they have each played enough games to theoretically win the Championship. I think practically all the tennis records have been broken too. The BBC live coverage, with the Twitter and text posts is very good.

P.S. Yes, I am sort of working, bringing my lab book up-to-date. And I didn't go to watch the football yesterday when everyone was skivving....
