Listening: Wimbledon

Day 3 on Wimbledon Radio

(Love the internet!) Mahut and Isner going to 59-59 in the fifth set - record breaking match. There's no tie-breaker in the fifth set at Wimbledon, so they could well keep going and going and going. They'd lost the scoreboard by the end and everyone was so punchdrunk that they couldn't talk about anything except how they really really needed to pee.

They finally stopped because of darkness and will have to finish tomorrow. The announcer agreed with me that this wasn't the time for a TV interview, all "How do you feel?"

"What are they going to say?" she asks. "They're exhausted and they haven't even won yet."

And tomorrow, the Queen is supposed to visit. I always wondered when they talked about her being there if there was an Brit in the Final. Was that the only way she could get to come? I mean, what if she just wanted to see Federer play? ('Cuz if she had to wait for an British Final, it might be a while.)
