2018 Wimbledon SF: Kevin Anderson vs. John Isner

[Moxie]

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.

I think they would have, too. At least the winner would have a chance in the final. Unless Rafa/Nole do the same thing - heaven forbid.

Right. It's like they have selective memory.

It thrills me when Kandy misses a return on John's second serve.

Haha. What if the 2nd match doesn't get on because this runs until the curfew? Then Djoke/Nadal will play tomorrow and Sun

I would throw the biggest fit if I were Novak or Nadal and they asked me to start anything at this point...
