Marathon men

Thursday marked the end of the longest tennis match in history. A three day, ten hour marathon that left the sports world stunned, and the players dead tired. This was a record breaking match in the most obvious kind of way.

Longest match in Wimbledon history prior: 46 games
Isner v. Mahut: 163 games

Below is a list of other amazing statistics from this mind boggling match:
