2018 Wimbledon SF: Kevin Anderson vs. John Isner

[Bob Smith]

What a monster body serve from big John. I wish it had knocked out Anderson's teeth. BOOM!

LOL

 

[monfed]

Isner wants this more than Kandy. He knows he may never get a golden chance like this again.

 

[monfed]

Hope both SFs go 8 hours and they cancel this tournament and award the 2000 points to the defending champion. i.e Federer.

 

[Bob Smith]

Isner looking more tired than Anderson when the latter has played more than him. How is this possible?

He’s not more tired. He just appears so.

Federer deserves to get -2000 points for losing to this clown. Even Isner has shown more baseline game and has already put up a much better fight than Roger.

So what does everyone think about changing the 5th set rule? 12-12?

 

[kskate2]

He gets out of it quickly

They're not going to change it. They had their opportunity to do something after the marathon match in 2010 and they didn't

Finals is going to be a letdown after this lol

 

[atttomole]

The big man is likely to capitulate now.

 

[golds girl]

I am so bored...I think the people in the crowd are only cheering so they get off the court.

 

[monfed]

That was a first round match on court 18. This is a SF on CC. The 2nd match might not even happen today, and will almost certainly not finish today. This is kind of a mess.

 

[monfed]

Anderson is regretting winning the 4th set.

Don't say that to herios.

 

[kskate2]

To add insult to injury on this disaster scheduling fiasco. It's starting to rain

Milos is basically Pliskobot!

What’s so stupid is that W rant about not changing tradition, but they make other concessions and changes selectively.

FWIW I think they will change it because the TV powers don’t want a five hour plus match.

Whoever wins this match is going to be beyond exhausted even with a day’s rest’ and at this point I’m sure both guys would have welcomed a tiebreaker.
