  1. - - ISNER 7-6 4-6 4-6 6-3 16-18 - THE EPIC FINALLY COMES TO AN END! Mathieu wins and salutes the crowd after what is one of the most incredible encounters in Grand Slam history! Isner is defeated on this occasion, and Mathieu is victorious in front of the French crowd! What a match and it's taken well over four hours! Next up for Mathieu is a clash with either Marcel Granollers or Malek Jaziri. Drawsheet

  2. - - ISNER 7-6 4-6 4-6 6-3 15-15 - Isner saves two match points at 15-40 down on serve as he comes through to hold serve yet again, and the American simply refuses to be beaten in this titanic battle! Mathieu has the crowd right behind him, of course...

  3. - - ISNER 7-6 4-6 4-6 6-3 6-6 - It's another typical Isner marathon as the American finds levels up the final set against Mathieu at 6-6 and this looks set to go on and on and on.

  4. - - ISNER 7-6 4-6 4-6 6-3 - SET! As is standard, Isner is involved in a five-set match, and he ensures that that is the case by taking the fourth set 6-3 with real intensity and purpose. He deserves to take it to five, and the French crowd are loving this.

  5. - - ISNER 7-6 4-6 4-6 - SET! Mathieu delights the French crowd by taking the third set against Isner, and a solitary break of serve is sufficient for him to take it 6-4 and move ahead in this extremely tight match!

  6. - - ISNER 7-6 4-6 - SET! Mathieu holds serve to close out the second set in efficient fashion, and the Frenchman delights his supporters on Philippe Chatrier as he levels up this match ruthlessly.

  7. - - ISNER 7-6 - SET! Isner takes the opening set in characteristic fashion - he clenches his fist in delight after winning the tie-break 7-2 with Mathieu fading in the breaker after looking consistent on his serve throughout.

  8. - - Big John Isner is in action against Paul-Henri Mathieu in their second-round match on Philippe Chatrier.

  1. i think now there gonna have to introduce tie-breaks­ after 10-10! its a bit ridiculous what these guys are­ putting their bodies through.

  2. True, French tennis fans are the pits man, the pits.

    From webbski, on Thu 31 May 20:29

  3. well done mathieu but this is crazy. how cab he recover­ in time for his next match.

    From Morty, on Thu 31 May 20:27

  4. What do you expect from the French == they just plain­ rude !! Can't appreciate a great match without­ showing their true colors = very rude .

    From Billy Bob Thornton, on Thu 31 May 20:26

  5. Commentary is like sooo behind...

    From RFederer-N-Pats*Fan*Grl, on Thu 31 May 20:16

  6. Jaziri is a break up in the 4th...that may into a 5th­ aswel.

    From Jason, on Thu 31 May 20:16

  7. :-PPPPPPPPPPPPP Isner lost :-((((

    From Tennis Fan, on Thu 31 May 20:15

  8. Oh bummer. Isner probably would have won in a tie break

    From Tennis Fan, on Thu 31 May 20:14

  9. Wow, what a match! Good job Mathieu. Horrible crowd

    From Jola, on Thu 31 May 20:13

  10. Please don't ever institute the tie break!!! This­ is what Grandslam tennis is all about!!!!

    From *~*Kennedy*~*, on Thu 31 May 20:11

  11. Mathieu has done it!!!!! Epic match....Isner is a great­ player and should keep his head held high.

    From Jason, on Thu 31 May 20:11

  12. its not a secret that even drained Mathieu will be­ favourite against Jaziri or Granollers

    From CarbonBased, on Thu 31 May 20:10

  13. this is ridiculous. It's great to watch but unfair­ to the players. Whoever wins will be so spent that they­ will lose the next match in straight sets because of­ exhaustion. Tiebreaker is a must. Get with the times­ FO.

    From Great Eddie, on Thu 31 May 20:09

  14. Give credit to Mathieu here for withstanding the Isner­ serve for such a long period in this match.

    From *~*Kennedy*~*, on Thu 31 May 20:07

  15. I hope Isner will come through. Show those snobby­ French people.

    From Steve, on Thu 31 May 20:07

  16. Up to now, who will be the winner remains unknown.­ C'mon both guys. Wishing either of you a great­ success in FO. To my thinking, if Isner could beef up­ his receiving games, his matches might not be too­ tough. In fact, I do believe he has the ability to make­ it so long as he can pay a bit attention to this­ important issue--how to strengthen his ground-stroke.­ Tall giant with big hands, gripping the tennis racket­ like holding a badminton bat, is supposed to solve the­ problem easily. God bless him!

    From Theo H, on Thu 31 May 20:07

  17. Ferrer is 2 matches away. The winner of this marathon­ first plays Granollers or Jaziri.

    From Menno, on Thu 31 May 20:05

  18. Unfortunetly winner of this match (not taking anything­ of both) will perish to Iron Ferrer :(

    From CarbonBased, on Thu 31 May 19:51

  19. Go Mathieu!! I hope he can do what Mahut couldn´t! It­ must be a coincidence, same nationality, similar age,­ similar surnames...

    From sarah37729, on Thu 31 May 19:51

  20. The used to call Arron Krickstein the "marathon­ man"....John Isner has taken that name.
