Suck it world cup.

Isner and Mahut deadlocked at 59-59 in historic Wimbledon tilt - Busted Racquet - Tennis - Yahoo! Sports

Epic doesn't even begin to cover it.



After 10 hours, 163 games and almost 1,000 points, American John Isner and Frenchman Nicolas Mahut were locked at 59-59 in the fifth-set of their historic first-round match at Wimbledon when play was suspended for the second straight day due to darkness.


You read the score correctly: 59-59. When the Wimbledon final had a 16-14 final set last year, that seemed like a marathon. In comparison, this match was like running to the moon. ...
 


Whoever wins is going to be spent for later matches.

Unbelievable.

Anyone ever play like two games in the same week in Rugby or American Football or something? For a makeup game? Thats tough. This is unheard of.

You will never see anything like this again in your lifetime, or probably a few lifetimes.
 
cool story bro, no body cares.....

You soccer pussies would have just called it a 0-0 tie hours ago so you could get back to your gayness.

The only reason it's not getting more attention is that these guys are a bunch of nobodies.

At 50-50, Mahut had two break points and Isner promptly served a 134 mph ace.

Now that's fucking impressive at near exhaustion.

+rep. Love it when a thread about actual sports achievement turns into a soccer fag bashing.

Skip to 1:45 for the good part... some guy yelling out a car window to a soccer team the following:

"HEY! NICE CIRCLE JERK YA FKEN SOCCER FAGGOTS!"

I love how after he says the "hey!", he waits for them to all turn around and look.. then hits them with the hilarity.
 
its crazy shit but I cant help but think that the winner will be winning under some odd circumstances so they should make it best 2 out of 3... just to spice it up a bit.
 
Intense, but tennis? Someone who takes the time to go out of their way and bitch and moan about soccer all the time actually prefers a gay sport like tennis to it?

Tennis takes crazy skills, and an enormous amount of practice. Being able to run on dead sprints for a ball going 80mph, and then hit it back at the same speed while placing it a specific location on your court is intensive. For Men's Tennis, groundstrokes are 80-95mph each with a lot of footwork involved. Not to mention the 140 mph serves coming right at you that not only do you have to hit back, but again place it somewhere. Tennis on TV seems like the ball cause slow, but if you ever watch a pro match in person, you'd be amazed by the speed of the players and the ball.

Nice shot by Federer.

Are you the douchebag yelling out the car window or the one holding the camera?
 
Why does everyone think that one sport is "better" or "tougher" than every other sport and that all other sports are for pussies? ANY sport at a professional level is extreme... Some people might not have interests in certain sports, but that doesn't mean they aren't as good, they're just different.
