Never seen one go that long.

(Need 6 games to win a set but you have to win by 2 otherwise it goes on until somebody gets 2 up)

1. watching now while I write- crazy!
I've never seen one this long! They must be exhausted. Don't they have to stop it at some point so that they don't simply fall over from exhaustion?

2. 40-39 now
and no sign of even a break point for either player recently. I think it's a record for Wimbledon in terms of games played, even from before the introduction of the tiebreak for the 1st 4 sets.
