JOHN ISNER VS NICOLAS MAHUT ODDS SHOW ISNER AS FAVOURITE IN $15 MILLION BETFAIR MARKET
Well, it's certainly one for the history books as two players whose names would only be known to those who follow the game closely have just written themselves into the history books several times over. The world's longest tennis match is still set to unfold tomorrow as Isner vs Mahut's Wimbledon 2010 opening round match was halted with the scores at 59-59 in the final set.
You read that correctly.
The match has seen both players break the record for the most aces in a single match while the overall length of the match (10 hours) has shattered past records.
The world's longest tennis match is set to unfold again tomorrow on Court 18 because the proceedings were halted by bad light- for the second day in a row.
This tennis match is starting to look a lot more like a cricket test. Test tennis anyone?
