    I'm sure the British bookies are already taking bets for which will end first: Isner vs. Mahut or the BP gusher in the Gulf.

    I wish it were the latter.

    They couldn't see the ball. It was dark. Or close to it.

    Aside from them not being able to see, it seems like the players were begging for it to be put over until tomorrow as well. I'd have been asking the same at 10-10, since I wouldn't be able to walk at that point.

    They don't have lights at Wimbledon? What a joke.

    Make them keep playing.

    Thought you would have covered Wimbledon as well.

    Forget 5th set tiebreaks. Remember Federer-Roddick and Federer-Nadal.

    I watched about 30 minutes of Isner-Mahut earlier today (when it was still in the 30s), and you could tell that whoever held serve was going to win each game. The other guy was so exhausted he couldn't return a hard serve.

    The Guardian blogger deserves some kind of award. I was hoping no one would win just to see how surreal he would get.
