50 games in the final set of the Anderson Isner semi final before Anderson came out on top. Amazing stuff.

Nadal and Djokovic could be a long match too.

A relative sprint for Isner who was also involved in this

And promptly lost his next match in straights if I recall correctly. Anderson will be banjaxed but so will whoever wins this one giving it'll go into tomorrow.

Possibly not as banjaxed though. These two guys are relentless. They must be a nightmare to play.

Serious fitness levels from top players in tennis.

Aye but if they also go deep into a fifth that's played tomorrow. I suspect as well that it would have to be played after the women's final rather than before, so they could be playing quite late tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Then again, Anderson now has two insanely long five setters in his legs in three days.

Oh didn't realise it could be played after. Might increase tiredness.

I rarely watch tennis but these two guys are phenomenal- great to watch. I think djokovic maybe will have a bit more in the end.

I'm not sure but I'd imagine that as there's all the pomp and ceremony of a final, royal visits etc, the start time of the women's would be set in stone. Don't know if it could be moved to Court 1 either.

Is there any chance that these tennis players are not on PEDs?

God no. Brilliant stuff to watch though.

They've just said that they'll have the choice to play either before or after the women's.

imtommygunn

Players choice whether before or after apparently....

Interesting point on 5th set should go to tie break at 12 each in a grand slam. Makes sense.

Ah yeah, great entertainment

gallsman

They're still going. Brilliant stuff altogether. Maybe Anderson will end up being the least tired tomorrow.

Haven't seen it properly but was Serena Williams badly done there getting docked a a game?

Her interview after was very good and her words for Osaka but it seems very harsh.

Not a good US Open for the officials!!
