Isn't Isner the one who played for 11 hours or something silly at Wimbledon 3 or 4 years back?
Won 70-68 in the fifth. This might have gone that way or Isner might have won early in the 5th (was 3-0/4-1 up) but his thighs cramped up and he lost 10-8.
"According to the ATP World Tour, Haas winning on the 13th match point is a record"
Only had 1 match point on his own serve and served a double. Still not bad for a 35 year old. Isner had gone to 5 sets in the previous round on Friday and in the end I think this made the difference.
Not bad for a 35 year old? I 'd say its absolutely amazing for a 35 year old. Especially from where he was a couple of years ago, i think he dropped to about 7-800 in the world because of injury. At his age he'd have had every right to pack it in. Now he's touching the top 10!
