Wimbledon Gentlemen's (8) Kevin Anderson vs (9) John Isner

Should have had a prop - how many tiebreakers will there be in the Anderson-Isner match? If you said three - you will be a winner already as the first three sets went to a tiebreaker. Of course that winning bet will only last 45 minutes or so as the fourth set will probably end up going to a tiebreaker. LOL!!

Update - fourth set doesn't go to a tiebreaker and unfortunately for the Isner pickers - Anderson won the fourth set - 6-4 - setting up a winner-take-all fifth set. Good News - no tiebreakers in the fifth set at Wimbledon - Bad News - We could have a 70-68 fifth set!

Here’s a statistical look at the amazing semifinal in which No. 8 seed Kevin Anderson of South Africa defeated No. 9 seed John Isner of the United States 7-6 (6), 6-7 (5), 6-7 (9), 6-4, 26-24.

• It was the second-longest match in Wimbledon history. Isner, of course, won the longest match, a first-round 2010 meeting against Nicolas Mahut 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7), 7-6 (3), 70-68. That match went 11 hours, 5 minutes and spanned three days.

• Anderson Edges Isner 26-24 In 5th Set For 1st Wimbledon Final

LONDON (AP) - To say that Kevin Anderson won this interminable Wimbledon semifinal, and that John Isner lost it, didn't really seem fair. To Anderson, anyway. They had played on and on, through 6 hours of ho-hum hold after ho-hum hold, during the second-longest match in the history of a tournament that began in 1877, all the way until the never-ending serving marathon did, finally, end at 26-24 in the fifth set Friday, with Anderson claiming the most important of the 569 points - the last.

So when Anderson left Centre Court, well aware that his 7-6 (6), 6-7 (5), 6-7 (9), 6-4, 26-24 victory earned him the chance to win his first Grand Slam title at age 32, the South African said: "At the end, you feel like this is a draw between the two of us. "John's such a great guy, and I really feel for him, because if I'd been on the opposite side, I don't know how you can take that, playing for so long and coming up short."
