The longest set.

[Fido]

I just started watching a match at Wimbledon and wondered why the BBC was covering it. On an outside court. Then I noticed the score. It's 45-45 in the 5th set!
I hope it finishes soon.

 

[Swivel]

Its been going on for over 8 hours now.

 

[Fido]

I love tennis. Imagine if this was a Federer / Nadal final. I wonder how many casualties there would have been so far! Very stressful for the fans never mind players!

 

[Swivel]

48-49
Still it continues.

 

[hunnymonster]

48-49
Still it continues.

Unlike the IBM-provided scoreboard that gave up at 47-47 - how hard can it be?

 

[antdad]

That'll be as many games as the women play in the whole tournament then. :shock:

 

[Fido]

Half time in the football and it's 52-53. Er no 0-0 actually.

 

[Swivel]

55-56

How fit are these guys?

 

[Fido]

And one of them is 6ft 9ins and 245lbs.

It's match point!!!!!!!!!!


Ace! Deuce.

It's never going to end. Back to the footie.

59-59 that's it for today.

 

[hunnymonster]

It's ended now... bad light stopped play.

4-6 6-3 7-6 6-7 59-59

It was hard to believe the players could actually stand up towards the end, let alone play high quality tennis.

Simply incredible. I'll fell very sorry for the loser tomorrow.

 

[Fido]

What makes you think they will finish today?

 

[Rev-O]

I like really long hard sets.

 

[hunnymonster]

Apparently they're back on Court 18 "some time after 3.30pm"... cutting it a bit tight I'd have thought for finishing today :lol:

Of course it'll be a damp squib and be over in 2 games.

 

[hunnymonster]

They resumed about half an hour ago, and they're up to 63-63 now.

I like really long hard sets.

I misread that ....and then realised I was supposed to :lol: :lol:
