Over/under 25 games to decide this set?

New drinking game, take a shot every time someone gets an ace in the 5th set. Only way to make it interesting

Considering Isner has six aces in two games, might want to do some shots of Malibu or something else with a low BAC.

Even if using bud light you'd be feeling it by now. What a snooze-fest.

You know what, there's the idea. After each hold, they have to shotgun a beer and do a shot of 151. That way someone will be blacked out by around 8-8 in the fifth.

I actually like power tennis, there is pressure and drama to hold serve.

I'd take this over Bautista-Agut vs Mannarino on clay.

Ahh the old "I'd rather have my eyes gouged out than my tongue chopped off" approach.

i'd rather suffer for 3 hours than 5. Also I think break points have meaning in this match. On clay, no points are important. Like women's tennis.

Ummm, this match is already at four hours and could easily have four more hours to go, so....

Isner getting treatment for a blister on one of his fingers apparently.

I don't know if it is. I just think she's that much better than everyone else.

She is someone's mom now. That changes a person's entire world view (or most people that i know).

My wife doesn't follow sports at all but she surprised me the other day to know that Serena played a match in her super hero dress and that she is still marching along at Wimbeldon.

I think Cligsters won a major after having had a child a few years back, but i don't know of many others.

Good for Serena. I hope she wins.

That Rolex commercial showing the legends of the game - Laver, Borg, Edberg, Sampras, Federer, Evert and then we go back live to Isner - Anderson

You know what in some ways you have to be impressed, we all exceptionally low expectations for this match, and it's lived down to them, possibly even worse than we expected. I hope the crowd starts getting involved, shout out during the next break point so it definitely happens.

I want the result of this match be that they have to create a new plaque to replace this one, in order to punish the sport of tennis for not giving me what I wanted.

It's Wimbledon. You might be executed for shouting out.

Nah, I suspect even the organizers want this shambles over. Or make an announcement like "Due to this match sucking so much, the players have 20 minutes to finish, or they are both disqualified"
