Wimbledon match Part 2: The score in the fifth set is presently 59 games each (that is not a misprint – even the scoreboard couldn’t handle it: It froze at 47-47), and the quality of tennis has been phenomenal: a huge ratio of winners versus unforced errors, a record 90 aces for one player (Isner), and there has been a grand total of three break points over the 118 games in the fifth set.
