11:12 a.m. 64-63, Isner. Mahut has been such a non-quitter in this match that when he gets home to France, he should be awarded all the wives and girlfriends of the entire French soccer team.

This is mind-numbing.

When's the last time anyone had match point?

Nothing even close to a service break. I'm not sure how this is going to end unless someone throws up a couple of double faults.

I can't imagine being in the broadcast booth for this, but how many times is Hannah Storm going to remind us 'this is history in the making!'

At least we don't have to look at her outfits ...

 

By way of contrast, Nadal may not play his 138th game of the tournament until the quarter-finals.

 

Wasnt that something like 58-56 in 8 OTs?

 

I dunno where I got 70-68 from, actually. One was 58-56, the other was 71-63. I think 70-68 might have been a Georgia high school playoff game.

 

Isner is completely adorable.
