I just find it hard to think that Isner will stay mentally strong enough to make it to a Major finals.

Not going to lie it’s hard for me to picture Isner as a Major finalist.

Better stop now or I’m going to reverse Jinx him into winning it all...

Isner is returning the clown's serve very well, but still has not broken.

He's more steady mentally than the much weaker serving stiff. It's his match to lose.

They are hitting the ball very hard.

Really long game with Isner pushing hard against Anderson's serve. They are actually playing some tennis, not just hitting serves past each other now.

Isner will win easily, not a walk in the park to break his serve unlike pathetic Roger today. Isner will probably break Anderson more times in 3-4 sets than Roger did today as well.
Isner hasn't been broken. He's held like 90 something straight service games. :scratch:

Almost as many times as his round 1 match v. Mahut a few years back. :lulz2:

The points are longer because of the surface.

Roger's serve can be WTA when things go wrong, Isner won't be so easy to break.

Isner started out looking the stronger, but now it's Anderson.

Are you one of those "fake grass" people? Anyway, there's some good tennis going on. And not just one-two.

Yes, some of us appreciate real grass court tennis, not the boring grinding points we see on every other surface.

These are long points. I don't think you'd have liked them. Do you prefer it like the first 2 games, when it was all serve, then move to the next side?

First one to Anderson. This match is much more fun that I thought it was going to be. Commies say first 2 collegians to compete in a major SF since Todd Martin and somebody in about '96.

Some of the points are actually longer than on clay. There is your answer. We are watching hard court/clay court tennis at Wimbledon.
