ISNER & MAHUT SET MATCH RECORD AT WIMBLEDON

Greensboro, NC native John Isner is still involved in the longest grand slam singles tennis match ever recorded in tennis history after the match was called this evening because of bad lighting after the 5th set hours since it began. The match between Isner and Frenchman Nicholas Mahut began on Tuesday and was suspended due to darkness. The pair returned Wednesday only to play the longest fifth set ever while setting the record for longest match at 7 hours and :06 minutes and total play of over ten hours thus far. Play was suspended with the score tied at 59 all. Isner also set the record for aces in the match with 98 and opponent Mahut also broke that record with 95 aces. The match will resume Thursday as both players attempt to rest up for their 3 p.m. start.
