John Isner wins longest tennis match EVER. Over 11 hours on court, 70-68 in 5th set, incredible!!

After 11 hours and 5 minutes over three days on court, John Isner of the U.S. finally beat Nicolas Mahut of France 70-68 in the 5th set.

This match broke every record in the books including crushing most aces by a played in a match. Each man is the only players ever to record over 100 aces.

The length of the fifth set alone was longer than the previous record for the longest match.

Just an awesome match and something we likely won't see again. A great reason not to have tiebreakers in the fifth set!
