Anyone giving Isner a chance? He looked good today.

I don’t know how anyone could possibly not like Delpo.  With that said, Vamos Rafa!!!

I know some girls who only care about glistening tan hairless muscles and for some reason their favorite men’s tennis player is Nadal. 

Federer's now lost 20 career matches in which he's had match point. That's an insane number.

Earliest one I can remember is the 2005 Australian Open SF against Marat Safin, where he went for a fancy tweener on MP (and dumped it into the net) instead of taking a safer shot. Also the 2006 Rome final against Nadal, the 2010 and 2011 U.S. Open SF matches against Djokovic, the 2017 matches against Donskoy in Dubai + Haas at Stuttgart, and now the 2018 Indian Wells final against del Potro and against Anderson here.

It sounds weird to say, given how much Federer has accomplished, but he has definitely left a lot of trophies on the table..

I am only because I want him to win. Isner has the game to win Wimbledon. This is his chance, but he has to get through Anderson and that will be a battle. Plus, he's been the top American for a long time.

I am on the 'anyone not named Nadal' train as well... which means Nadal will probably win 😕

Whoever wins the Djokovic-Nadal semifinal has to be the runaway favourite.

This is pretty crazy, odds for today. 

Isner -114, Anderson +100 

Novak -108, Rafa -106 

 

Can’t imagine odds in a Slam semi have been that close in quite awhile. 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say these two are pretty evenly matched.

It's like watching old school Wimbledon, back in the Ivanisovic or Krajicek days.

Confirmed

did they say what the med TO was for?

I don't think an American man has been in a GS singles final since Roddick in 09. Come on Isner....do it for the land

This servebot tie break set is gonna go on forever and we'll miss the interesting match altogether.

If you don’t think this is an interesting match, well then, I don’t even want to know you.

This tennis bores me to hell. This thing has played 90+ more points than Nadal/Del Potro and eclipsed its length and they've covered 10-11K less foot distance throughout the match. I enjoy watching point construction through shot variety and tactical placement. I really don't find 50%+ of points ending in an unreturned serve/limp wristed return interesting.

 Curfew is at 11pm and its already past 7pm. If Nadal v. Djokovic goes 4 or 5 sets I don't think they finish  

Djoker definitely has an advantage if they close the roof, IMO.

It's 6:30 in London. I'm sure they have told Nadal/Djokovic they will have a VERY quick entrance. 

Start play by 8 and gets you 3 hours.... probably won't finish but possible. 

 

And put me in the camp that this is less than ideal tennis. It's better than Isner/Raonic but the court coverage per point is turrible

Ah yeah I was thinking it was a 7 hour difference but thats the French Open. And yeah court coverage is terrible, but they have long arms..

At this point, whoever wins this match will sleep through their alarm and lose the final by default.

This match so far is just a bit longer than the time Nadal takes between points.

Yeah, can this rule be changed?

Imagine being Nadal and Djokovic...antsy as fuck and entire pre game plan out the window.

F that.

As a reminder, Isner lost to de Bakker 0,3,2 after he beat Mahut. Didn't hit a single ace and lost in 74 minutes

Isner looks done....Anderson looks a little more energized

Isner’s movement between points makes Delpo look like Speedy Gonzalez. 

The crowd wants a BREAK!

Looks like Isner is just holding on

Just wondering when the last time FILA squared off against LOTTO in a Wimbledon semifinal or final.

I’m a bit annoyed at this match. Don’t know why.

I case of more is not always better... winner here all but guaranteed to lose handily in finals

I feel that Anderson has a better shot at recovery than Isner.

I think that was already the likely case, but Nadal/Djokovic may hit more shots/run more in their semifinal than this one. Altho if it goes close to 30-30, I think either guy is smoked in the final. 

Although it seems like Isner has no shot at the moment. He is on last breaths

No doubt. But he will HAVE to win the 1st set, potentially the first two sets to have a chance.
