Anybody going to watch John Isner and Nicolas Mahut in their opening round match this week will need to be prepared for a possible repeat of last year's marathon match which holds the record for longest match in tennis history. The two players met in the same round of last year's tournament, Isner eventually prevailing 6-4 3-6 6-7 (7-9) 7-6 (7-3) 70-69 in an 11-hour battle of wills. The America... Read More
