A rather large piece of history......

Wimbledon 2010.

The queen's first visit in 33 years see's Britains Andy Murray beat Jarkko Nieminen in three straight sets (6-3 6-4 6-2)

Murray v Nieminen

But the big story.......

American John Isner beats Nicolas Mahut of France 70-68 in the final set of the longest tennis match in history at Wimbledon, after 11 hours and five minutes, played over 3 days.

Outstanding record breaking match.

Several records were broken, one of which was the number of aces in a match > 215.

The amount of strawberries and cream consumed during that match must have been enormous...

John Isner is back on court today in his second round match, with absolutely no juice left in the tank.

It's a shame to see, but I think he's about to go out.

On a happier note, day 5 and not yet a drop of rain at Wimbledon.....



Added:

It's all over (6-0 6-3 6-2) He must be gutted!

Argus,
Are you suggesting the English, or Swiss, footies know how to score goals?

[Argus]

Nah, not necessarily, we haven't seen plenty of them ... But I assume it was a comment on England's important game on Wednesday (Slovenia 0-1 England). Perhaps the umpire got bored by that never ending game between those French and American guys.
