After all the crap Paulo has had recently, great win for him. Isner played his part of course saving 6 match points.

Smart move by Isner. He would have ruined his season again trying to go 70 more games

Hehe, amazing, one of the biggest chokers of the decade wins the longest 5th set in terms of games in the Roland Garros history against the all-time record holder n these circumstances :worship:

Clay helped him :)

Moments like this after the operations make it worth him coming back. Won back to back 5 setters, going to need the ice bath big time.

Joked about his choking in the past, great atmosphere and great effort from Isner as well.

And yet wishing death in the forum is "banned" :rolleyes:

The ice bath concept is a meth.

People would die if they sink in ice.

This match unfortunately highlights why John is never going to achieve much at a Grand Slam. We're talking about clay, not carpet, yet for sets at a time he was missing every other routine ball from the baseline. Can't beat decent players like that.
