    Would be hilarious if they get suspended by darkness again. But that's about another two hours or so.

    I watch tennis only for about 30 minutes a year, but I stumbled upon this match at 28-28 and could not tear myself away. Compelling stuff. I tip my cap to both players.

    41-41. And it's about to get bumped over to ... ESPNU because the World Cup is coming back on.

    Screw the World Cup. This is great tennis, great drama and great TV.
    Who wants to watch two teams we don't care about not score for the next two hours.


    Besides the boring game doesn't start until 2:30. We don't need 30 minutes of pre-boredom bullshit when we've got something great and historic going on.

    Actually, we do care about it because it will affect who the U.S. plays on Saturday.

    Who cares!
    You can miss the first half and not miss a thing.

    Same could be said for this until it gets dark. They're just trading serves. (I'm not advocating they SHOULD switch away, just a counter to your argument. Of course, they should stay with it.)
