well, this has gone over whatever lines were posted overnight, right?

After I put my bet on, the line jumped to 125.5 but I'm sure someone mentioned 130.5 give or take 1. That's definitely the highest I saw though.

Wish I had seen this (and wish I had spare money to bet with)... because it was fairly obvious this would just continue! These guys cannot return. As much as I ADMIRE them for their fitness and their will, I'm disappointed that neither has stepped up to really bring something different and that extra competitive level, take the bull by the horns to win this thing!

it'd be funny if there was a retirement.

Some books would void bets on the longest match ever.

at the end of the tournament, these guys will finish top five in aces, even if the winner of this loses to De Bakker, which I think will happen.

Great match, gotta feel bad for Mahut. He held his composure there when I would have just walked right off.

Capybara · 06-24-10, 11:14 AM

Isner had it all along.

Poor Mahut... I didn't know who he was before this match, and now he has my utmost respect.

Me too, I was totally rooting for him. Isner has a bright future but Mahut will probably always be an also-ran. He was toughing it out so well between always being a break away from losing and dealing with his stomach-muscle problem.

I thought he had a more well-rounded game than Isner but somehow he could never seem to get over the hump. Guess you got to just tip your hat to Isner.

Isner is a marginal (+114) dog to De Bakker in the 2nd round game

game starts at 10AM UK time (16 hours now)

I wouldn't rule out Isner at all after this marathon. I think actually it might give him even MORE resolve not to get bounced after going through all that.

I think +114 is good value. Yisser, you still taking De Bakker?
