That's crazy! I remember I had a regional tennis match back in HS that lasted around 3 hours. We were going back and foward point after point until I messed up and he won...:'(
I was exausted and still had a doubles match I had to go play. I can only imagine how these two must have felt.

For some reason I thought Cassidy posted this.

Damn that's a long time though.

Maybe he did, but SJB falcon punched him and took it for himself.

I was watching this game and it ass incredible. Nothing like it has happened before and nothing like it will happen again. It's not very often one can be certain of viewing history but we could be certain tonight. It even made me forget about the World Cup (and the fact that England now play Germany...)
