John Isner of the United States is in an epic match right now up 39-38 at WImbledon in the fifth set of his match

Stupid Social Security blocking ESPN at work.

And it is now 55-54 in the fifth.

[From the class of 09]

If a tennis match ever deserved a draw this would be it. 59-59

The scorecard looks hilarious. I feel bad for the eventual loser. I can't imagine pouring everything you have into a historic match and being on the losing end by just a couple of games.

This will go down as the best tennis match of all time!!!! This is insane!!!

Beat the longest tennis match in history just with the 5th set!!!

If the Frenchie looses this one (and i hope he does) That country will have had one of the worst sports weeks ever. I would laugh. Besides the American isner is a Georgia bulldog. glory glory.

I really think Isner was in some serious trouble from about 50-50 on. He could barely move to make a return. He really should have just taken a nap while Mahut was serving to conserve some energy. Darkness was his friend even though he tried to protest the second suspension of the match due to darkness.

I bet he gets a good night's sleep and disposes of Mahut in 4 games tomorrow.

Apparently Mahut is the "exception which proves the rule". A Frenchman who doesn't quit?

Isner wins 70-68 in the fifth.

Five records were broken by this match...and Isner gets the rest of today off (that probably was expected) before he plays his next match...he's gonna need to ice his shoulder down after this one.
