Wimbeldon 2010 : War at Court 18 : The Madness of Brooks

[Bells]

So, thanks Smarty for bringing attetion to this bizarre event, it was most entertaining!

Today at Court 18 - Gentlemen's Singles - 1st Round the Match between Mahut and Isner went beyond any records with the most current Update i have showing a 53-53 tie... that's a looooooong match of tennis folks.

You can get some staggering stats of the Match on the Wimbledon official website right here:

But the most amazing thing i saw so far was the Live Blog kept by the game commentator Xan Brooks while he descended into madness over this game

Here is a peak

8.05pm: In the stands, a woman is laughing. She laughs long and hard and her laugh is the sort of ghastly yodel you normally hear in antique horror movies about Victorian insane asylums. "Wa-la-ha-la-wah," she goes. "Wa-la-ha-la-ha-la!" Will nobody drag her out? Call in the goons in white coats. Get this woman to a lobotomy!

Mahut is serving to make it 51-51. Wouldn't you know it, he does. He makes it to 51-51, finishing up with an ace.

So, this is amazing to watch, read and laugh! History in the making people... craaaaaaazy history!

I won't over crowd this thread with details because i just learned that half the fund is digging for them, so please, dig!! Dig and Share!!

EDIT: THis is awesome

8.40pm: It's 56 games all and darkness is falling. This, needless to say, is not a good development, because everybody knows that zombies like the dark. So far in this match they've been comparatively puny and manageable, only eating a few of the spectators in between bashing their serves.
But come night-fall the world is their oyster. They will play on, play on, right through until dawn. Perhaps they will even leave the court during the change-overs to munch on other people. Has Roger Federer left the grounds? Perhaps they will munch on him, hounding him down as he runs for his car, disembowelling him in the parking lot and leaving Wimbledon without its reigning champion. Maybe they will even eat the trophy too.
Growing darker, darker all the while.
