9 hours, 58 minutes, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(7), 6-7(3), 59-59

Impressive stats ... and who knew that today they would have such a profound impact. If you love tennis like a lot of the VIE at home team, then no doubt you were glued to the epic match between 6ft 9 John Isner and his slightly less imposing, but equally determined opponent Nicolas Mahut.

Watching Isner visibly struggle in the final moments of the game, we couldn't help wonder how achey that huge frame is going to be today ... We hope his support team have invested in an intensive massage treatment like our Muscle & Joint Massage Oil to keep him limber. In complete reverse Mahut seemed fresh as a daisy (maybe he'd tried our new Stay Calm Rollerball)


For both boys today, we recommend they try our Power Up Rollerball - if there's ever been two men who need a fresh burst of energy, it's these two.

PS. In news that has no relation to this post or sport, we've launched our online Sale today ... well I guess Sale shopping is a sport of types? Who's got the best bargain today ... let us know.
