Longest tennis match in history

And it is not over yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trust Wimbledon to provide such drama.

Longest tennis match ever, 10 hours, suspended

Isner and Mahut are tied at 59 games apiece in fifth set at Wimbledon

The longest match in tennis history was suspended because of darkness at 59-59 in the fifth set at Wimbledon on Wednesday night.

The first-round match between 23rd-seeded John Isner of Tampa, Fla., and qualifier Nicolas Mahut of France already had been suspended because of fading light Tuesday night after the fourth set.

They have been playing each other for a total of exactly 10 hours — 7 hours, 6 minutes in the fifth set alone, enough to break the full-match record of 6:33, set at the 2004 French Open.
