Quote: Aaron @ June 20 2010, 5:38 PM BSTI think that what has been established here, is that sport is boring.
Sport is possibly the most necessary facet of a civilised society, there wouldn't be a peaceful civilised way of life without it. And many sports actually function more as social events, the classic example is Wimbledon, where thousands of mainly unsporty females and their limp male partners pay fortunes to sit around eating strawberries in a posh part of town.
Are they gonna make this Mahut/Isner match a 3 day event?
Well, ok, six and a half hours so far..
That's mental. Whoever wins is going to be too knackered to play the next round.
37-37. When does it go to penalties?
I wonder if it's still going. Pity one of them has to lose.
43-44. It's on BBC Two, or http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8753437.stm <--- there.

That's like twelve matches worth of games! Or something.
This is ridiculous.
I know, I want to watch the Germany match.
45-46
Two players that I couldn't give a shit about....
....and yet I can't stop watching
Greg Rusedski on John Isner: For a big man, he's got very soft hands
I have just tried to explain this to Mrs Bigfella. Wish I never started!
It took me almost as long as the game to explain.
"Has no one said anything?" she asked. As though they had paid for an hour and were sneeking some extra time.

I think they should go to Rock, Paper, Scissors.
48-49 *sighs*
*yawn*
Wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a fix, just to set a new world record.
Aren't all tennis matches this long? Bloody feel like it.
Nine hours!
