They should count the individual fans left just to let us know. I think that's more interesting than the tennis. I've said this before, but for matches like this where we know how it ends, just play best of 11 tiebreaks.

Actually scrap the best of 11 breakers, the tennis is still poor. How about like target practice with the serve? Or like serving trick shot competition? Smart of Milos to go for broke against Isner in the breaker, he's got this first set.

Milos is the better returner. Isner is only winning 1/3 of his 2nd serves.

For those of us unable to watch, did Milos call for the trainer?

Isner's second serve is not great. Milos can make this an entertaining match the more he is able to have some looks at it. I would wager Isner will start missing his 1st more and more if he drops this tiebreak and starts pressing a little.

I like how somehow Isner's fastest serve of the match led to one of the longest rallies.

A Federer fan at work is whining that they made him play on court 1. Not the big stage of centre court to intimidate the opposition.

And yet Federer still had a match point. Loss had nothing to do with the court.

Court 1 has been the court of death this tournament.

Lol Isner and Milos have a combined 51 winners and 6 errors. Peak servbotting right here.

Like I'd love for someone in the crowd to just shout out "Get to the ####ing breaker already!". Maybe a rule for these types of matches is first break of serve wins the match, would certainly up the tension and drama.

I mean, Raonic is serving really well, so it's kind of fun to watch that level of precisoh who am I kidding, start the damn England / Croatia match already.

Well big ups to DelPo's heart, I buried him after blowing that chance to serve out the second set, but now he's up two sets to one.

Nadal needs to step up his game in the 4th this may be his best chance to win Wimbledon for a 3rd time.

Yes, they came out and taped up his quad. Movement doesn't seem to be affected at all but concerning nonetheless with the opportunity he has here with the way the draw has opened up.

Del Potro's wrist looks to be giving him trouble. Just breaks my heart that such a great guy and amazing tennis player has had wrist injuries his whole career.
