  • Unbelievable 13-11 Anderson
  • Isner, Raonic or Anderson will be in the final
  • That match was a great distraction from the football!
  • Hard to believe that, but well done to Anderson. How many times has Federer lost from 2 sets up?

    The last time it happened at Wimbledon was 2011 v Tsonga.
    They said that at 2-0 thats how I know
  • FYI Andy Boring Murray is somehow a commentator on the Nadal Match WTF
  • Big win for Nadal as well, overcoming Del Potro after almost 5 hours.

    Semi's are:

    Nadal v Djokovic
    Isner v Anderson
  • Delighted Federer got knocked out. Would like to see a new champion.
  • John Isner 2 sets to 1 up in the battle of the big servers with Kevin Anderson.

    Anyone following Wimbledon?!
  • Yh. Justin Gimelstob is a dick.

  • There is now an injury break apparently.

    Not sure which of the two is injured.
  • Now at seven all in the fifth set.

    9-9

    Wouldnt be surprised if Isner Mahut record could be broken between these 2

    183 games in that match

    65 in this so far
  • 10-10

    Nadal and Djokovic still waiting
  • This last set is a war of attrition
  • Don't know why considering they have both held serve 11/12 times but, I have more confidence in Anderson holding his and not making a mistake.
  • This has been a long time listening to John Inverdale, it's cruel.
  • Surely they could stick the Rafa/Novak match on number 1 court, let everyone on the hill in and those in the queue for resale seats to centre.

    Can see it getting to 5th on that list, possibly higher
  • You'd have thought they might've changed the commentators by now just to freshen it up a bit.

    This could be a real life Seven Days in Hell :-)
  • Boy they must be exhausted!
  • Surely they could stick the Rafa/Novak match on number 1 court, let everyone on the hill in and those in the queue for resale seats to centre.

    Have to finish at nine on court 1. Can play until 11 on Centre.
  • Best fifth set I've ever seen
  • 6 and a half hours played now, ouch
  • Currently 6th longest match ever.

    30 minutes more and Isner will be 1st and 2nd on the list
  • Why on earth has this not gone to a tiebreaker? Absolutely insane a match this long can only be bad for the final - the injury risk alone. Both players have asked for a tiebreaker now.
