Tennis has never seen anything like this. John Isner and Nicolas Mahut will finish battling out in the longest match in Open Era tennis history on Thursday. All sorts of records were broken on Court 18 at Wimbledon in what is an unfathomable match, spanning two days and now going on three.
The match resumed Wednesday at 2:05 p.m. (local time) and set the longest-match record at 5:45 p.m., long before play was finally again suspended at 9:10 p.m.
History is being made in this epic match for the ages. Play will pick up again Thursday with both players knotted up at 59-59 in the fifth set. The 23rd-seeded Isner took the fourth set on Tuesday before play was suspended at 6-4, 3-6, 6-7(7), 7-6(3). It is now 6-4, 3-6, 6-7(7), 7-6(3), 59-59.
