2018 Wimbledon SF: Kevin Anderson vs. John Isner

[DarthFed]

Whoever wins the Champion will not be Fed.

We have a fox...

I was wondering this: John and Nico Mahut has both spoken about how much that long match took out of them, for months, even years, later. I wonder if, subconsciously, Isner might back of a touch rather than go on forever.

At this stage of his career the only thing on his mind is getting to the finals.

I really need one of these two to step up, wrap it up and go have some dinner.
Neither have enough gas in the tank for either Rafa or Novak in the final.

One would think. I just wondered if, deep down, he might back off a bit, having been there.

 

[DarthFed]

God how bad is a tour have to be that KA is reaching 2 of the last 4 GS finals. Incredible

If only Wimbledon was played in the US, John would've won this by now.

BP Anderson

 

[Federberg]

I'm a bit conflicted. I loathe Isner, but I don't see Anderson being able to put up as much of a fight against either Rafa or Novak

How?

That surface is even slower than this, Isner wouldn't be anywhere near the semis

Forget Nadal and Novak the winner of this tree match is gonna be fatigued...

 

[DarthFed]

God if I have to hear Isner say "that's it" again I might switch to Little House on the Prairie

OMG. It is a quarter to 6. When will this end?

I wasn't sure if that were him or Gimelstob...

Shades of Isner/Mahut?

 

[Federberg]

Anderson should be trying to make Isner run as much as possible.

Yes he revved it up

Meanwhile Nadal and Novak waiting for the match...................

This is the kind of match where you'd wished Wimbledon had adopted the 5th set tiebreak.
