What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Wimbledon: longest semi-final ever, apparently. One participant: a certain Mr J Isner, who seems to be making a habit of getting involved in this sort of thing. Thus far, there have been a mere 22 games in the final set, so I doubt he's particularly impressed.

Well it was Anderson who took 13-11 in the fifth to beat Roger, so...

Also, Isner is 4 aces away from Ivanisevic’ tournament record.

Pfft. Trivial by Isner's standards.

Now up to 31 games. A few more still needed to get within a ton of Isner's most famous match.

Anderson wins 7-6 (8-6), 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (9-11), 6-4, 26-24. Right on the half-ton.

There used to be a hardcourt tournament not too far from you, in Stowe, VT.

On that note, both ladies’ and gentlemen’s won by players who overcame crap years to return to 2016 form.

So my Mom got a phone call a few hours ago that may have a potential kidney for her. My parents just left for the hospital so they can run tests on her to see if she is a good match. If all goes well, she will be spending the week in the hospital.
