jlo Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I just cannot believe the tennis match that has been going on for a zillion hoursl How do those guys keep going. It seems a shame that one of them has to lose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Amazing wasn't it? What champion players, completely unexpected, I wonder who'll manage to come out strongest tomorrow. Difficult decision about the light stopping play too. Brilliant tennis, and as for stamina.... It's hard to support one above the other isn't it? As McEnroe was suggesting, I wonder if the rules will change after this marathon, record breaking event. So, will it be a decisive 3 or 5 games tomorrow (perhaps if one has recovered well compared to the other) or another trillion games! I think it'll be either very swift or very long, nothing middling. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I am usually bored to sobs by tennis and very dismissive of the players but I happened across this at 6.30pm and was captivated by their stamina and commitment. Things kept changing although nothing changed - it was weird. Brilliant sportsmanship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy chickens! Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I really admired their mental ability to keep going - I would have lost the plot long ago! Hope neither are too stiff to carry on today. I switched on to watch Federer and thought why are they showing this match, thought game score of 30/30 was the score in a game - took a min to percolate through!! Amazing.

Chickendoodle Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Did you also hear it was the BBC's commentator's first match - he was told "go to court 18 - nothing happens there" Absolutely amazing spectacle - even my OH was transfixed and he doesn't like tennis. It almost seems like a tennis player's idea of one of the circles of hell - a tennis match that just never ends. Hope it doesn't end in 5 minutes today - I think 5 games more would be just about right. What will happen if it never ends - will they do rock paper scissors, toss a coin, play a tie break at 100 all........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 What will happen if it never ends - will they do rock paper scissors, toss a coin, play a tie break at 100 all........... That would be funny! But then again, that has the danger of being a draw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
