Cascade Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 How many breaks have there been in this fifth set? None In fact I think there have been very few break points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 These are the break point stats from the entire match. Break Point Conversions Mahut 1 of 3 = 33 % Isner 1 of 12 = 8 % There were service breaks in both set one and two. Sets three and four were decided in tie breaks.

Winstonm Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 In the U.S. it is illegal to play tennis on grass - unless you live in California and have 59 prescriptions for 59 ounces from your doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickf Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 What are the top 2?Well off the top of my head:1) When Greg Cornelson scored four tries against the All Blacks in 1978.2) Perhaps the under-arm bowling "incident" of 1981. Tsk - I hate sore losers. nickfsydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsk - I hate sore losers. nickfsydney I have to agree with 1) when an Australian team scores four tries in one match (or even season) it is amazing so it has to be pretty special when one Australian player matches that feat in one game. But 2) I am not really sure is the same sort of amazing as this match. When I was in Melbourne recently my Australian friends certainly didnt talk of the under-arm bowling as amazing. The most amazing thing about the under-arm incident was that the batsman Brian McKecknie who was on the rough end of that controversy was the same man who kicked a penalty goal in the last minute against Wales in 1978 for the All Blacks to win after NZer Andy Haden controversially dived out of a lineout milking a penalty - that man (Haden) could have played soccer for Italy.

gwnn Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 BTW I went to a sports bar to watch some tennis, they have about 20 TV sets. 10 were showing the German game, 10 the Australian game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 well it's not fair, the place is almost as small as my room, there are walls where there are 4 TV's in 2 metres and they can't even spare 1? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
