Hah! The official "Slam tracker" is coming apart at the seams. First it reset games after 50-50 and there wasa note to add 50 to the game count. Now the 1st set is 0-0 and Isner is down 2 sets to 1.

I'm guessing IBM didn't contemplate this scenario.....

It's the tennis version of Y2K.

Now it's back.

Neat stats. I'm convinced that Isner is now just dragging it out to get to 100 aces (2 to go).

Only 9 double faults all match. That's amazing.

It's 9:10 there, has to be getting a little dark. Have they set a time to suspend yet?

It's funny that Mahut wanted to suspend the match and Isner wanted to keep playing. I thought it would be the other way around.
