Meanwhile, on Court 3, the boys singles Semi currently stands at 7-6 6-7 11-11! That involves a Brit, Jack Draper. But he is currently break point down...

Originally posted by Janik View PostI doubt that. For one there is a match halfway through on that Court (the 3/4 British Mixed Doubles affair, though this is nearly done). Another is that Centre Court has a roof and floodlights, #1 doesn't - they can play on Centre to 11pm. Then there is ticket holders who will be expecting two matches. In theory Isner-Anderson is never more than five minutes away from being done.
It's more likely that they will tell Nadal and Djokovic they won't even start today. And that is unlikely before 9pm or so.

I'm quite enjoying witnessing the growing frustration of the Djokovic/Nadal brigade - as if Anderson/Isner just have to turn up, sort it in two hours and then jog on and make way.

And half the possible new audience for tennis waits and waits, and buggers off for a Friday night out.

Poor bloody Isner. On the radio they mention he had said something about not being solely known as one of the two guys who played the longest match. Now he is known as that, plus the longest Semi. It will reinforced his legacy as a big server marathon man with little other game, sadly.

Had he won today, Isner would've looked like an ironman nonpareil, mind. Still, turn and turn about, belatedly: eight years after he outlasted poor old Nicolas Mahut, losing this one seems just about fair.

If this is 2-2 at 11pm, are they really going to make the players come back tomorrow?
And yes, they will stop at 11pm, come what may. Local residents as the Club is in a residential area, public transport etc. dictate the licensing terms. Tim Henman is on the Committee of the club, and he is always clear about it. There was one Andy Murray match on a middle Saturday that ended at 11:02. They were seconds away from pulling it, IIRC.
