Wimbledon ...
 
started on Monday .. Yes all the english women are out .. murrays still in .. but at the moment on BBC2 is a match that has lasted 7hrs up to now and the score is 2 sets apiece .. and 35 games each in the 5th set .. its the longest game in history ... even beating the Roland Garros one which lasted 6hrs and 33 mins ..

its now 53-53 .... was reading on the bbc live at wimbledon page ... its a frenchman and an american ... the frenchman keeps coming back .. what he probably earns in a year is what some of the french football team players earn in a week ... hes showing that at least one french man has the grit and determination to keep going no matter what ...

It was brilliant to watch last night, don't know how they even kept moving for that long, never mind playing - shame one of them has to lose

watched the game , felt sorry for Mahut , one had to lose , Isner comes across in the media as a really decent guy , no attitude or sense of entitlement like Federer or Nadal
