59 TO 59 IN THE 5TH SET.

59 TO 59 IN THE 5TH SET. As darkness fell today at Wimbledon, Nicolas Mahut and John Isner were tied in the 5th set at 59 to 59 (article here). They had been playing that 5th set all day, for seven hours and six minutes. Nick alerted us to what was happening when the score was 32 to 32, and we watched in fascination. A part of me wants the set and match to go on forever.
