Apart from a bathroom break they did play for 8 hours straight. There is no way I could imagine how tiring that must be; Isner was out on his feet last night thankfully his serve is so good he just kept himself in there.

I think they got rest when the shift of ball boys and officials ended and new one had to take field. :laugh

Well Isner won that match against Mahut. In the next round this happened:

Wimbledon 2010: John Isner thrashed by Thiemo De Bakker

John Isner seemed to struggle with the after-effects of his epic victory over Nicolas Mahut as he lost in straight sets to Thiemo de Bakker at Wimbledon.

The American 23rd seed looked exhausted from his first-round win against Mahut - the longest match in tennis history - and fell 6-0 6-3 6-2 in 74 minutes.

De Bakker outclassed his opponent from start to finish, although Isner did require treatment for a neck problem.

He was due to play doubles later on Friday but withdrew with a toe injury.

"I was just so exhausted," said Isner, who He failed to send down a single ace in the whole match, compared with 112 against Mahut. "I felt a bit drained and didn't have much in my legs and shoulder. It stinks to lose in the second round.

Only 2 seeds left in the womens draw, surprising loss for Venus.

Federer is out. Defeated by an excellent Berdych, who also made the semi-finals of the French Open this year. It was an excellent match, Berdych was just too powerful for Federer.

Anybody else thing Berdych looks like Daniel Agger a little bit?

Can sort of see where you are coming from, but I don't think they look that much alike.

I only really watch tennis when it's Wimbledon so forgive me for being ignorant. What's happened to Federer? He struggled in the matches he won then lost to Berdych. I thought he's meant to be the best.

 

[treva]

He is getting on and he can't keep up his immaculate record forever. He is still the best or second best player, behind Nadal, in the world, he just had a tough tournament.

I like Djokovic chances.

Federer Lost in the Quater finals noway

 

[SciD]

Djokovic is under pump from Bedrych and everything seems to go right for him. Ball hits his racket and jumps over net even if he is falling down.

 

[treva]

Stunning tie break there. C'mon Berdych, just one more set.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Djokovic defeated. Well done Thomas Berdych!

 

[treva]

I'm going to have a dilemma if Murray gets through. I've really enjoyed watching Berdych, so I think routing for a 5 setter is the best thing.

 

[SciD]

Is it still called Henman Hill?
