59-59 marks the longest set and match ever at Wimbledon

Isner and Mahut were playing and playing and playing on court 18, having resumed at two-sets-all in the early afternoon and spent seven hours and six minutes playing an unprecedented fifth set that was suspended due to bad light at 59-59. That’s games. All 118 of them. Seriously. Even the scoreboard gave up at 47-47

and I missed it.
