Marathon Match Ends at Wimbledon between John Isner & Nicolas Mahut - 11 hours of tennis!

Wimbledon is not even into its second week of action and history has already been made.  American John Isner and Frenchman Nicolas Mahut, played the longest match ever recorded in tennis history with Isner ending up on top 6-4, 3-6, 6-7, 7-6, 70-68.  Except for the U.S. Open, a tie-breaker will not be played to determine the 5th set in any Grand Slam tournament.  It's too bad someone had to lose this epic 11 hour and five minute match, but both players will have their place in tennis history.
