I disagree. That made for great reading.

It was good reading, but is driving people to madness really worth it?

This morning I heard that both players were supposed to play doubles today. And that the winner was scheduled to play his second round game today. Obviously that's not going to happen, but nevertheless, I think Isner's going to need to hibernate after his tourney ends.

Isner's doubles match got postponed, Mahut's didnt.

Predictably, John Isner lost his 2nd round match to Thiemo De Bakker 6-0, 6-3, 6-2 in a tidy 1:14 (including getting "shutout" in a 16 minute first set). After setting a record for aces in a single match, Isner didn't serve a single ace vs De Bakker.

Isner: What a slacker!

Ok, I'm bring this thread up again...

why?....

... they're having a re-match

http://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/news/articles/2011-06-17/201106171308313188731.html

So that's a total coincidence? They didn't set that up? Either way, I'll be watching. I kind of hope Mahut wins this time....

Wow. What are the odds of this rematch even happening?

1/8128 without adding up the chances of qualifying

No Jahgee. Just no.

I read that the odds of this were 1/143 that they'd be drawn against each other.

Also, I'd like to say that on my tour of Wimbledon, we visited Court 18, and my goodness is it a really nice setting.

Yeah, I heard there was about a 0.7% chance of that happening, which comes out to 1/143. That's because certain seeded players can't play one another in the first round, thus eliminating many of the possible matchups.
