Savour this score, for you will probably never see its like again: American John Isner beats Nicolas Mahut of France 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7), 7-6 (3), 70-68 in the longest tennis match in history, after 11 hours and five minutes. Over three days that were not once visited by rain, in a match that consumed 11 hours and 5 minutes — a cartoonish number that somehow fails to capture this raw, brutal struggle that consisted of 183 games. The fifth set ran 8 hours and 11 minutes — 98 minutes than the longest match on record. Thursday’s portion of the proceedings was a relatively modest slice of 65 minutes and Isner edged Mahut 11 games to 9. For the record, Tuesday’s court time was 2 hours and 54 minutes, and Wednesday ran a memorable 7 hours and 6 minutes.
