Kevin Anderson vs John Isner - Wimbledon SF 2018

[tennis_pro]

Anderson got a hot wife, though, way above his league. And now a second Slam final.

Who's gonna finish him off is the only question remaining?

Look I am not saying Nadal hasnt won slams facing weak opponents (btw Nadal's first 2 USOs had Djokovic in the final. Cant imagine a tougher matchup for Nadal than that).
Just that Fed has had AMPLE times when he won those early slams against weaker final opponents.
The current horrible field has benefitted BOTH fed and nadal. Infact fed has benfitted more from the current weak field.
I cant see how '14-16 was weak for Djoko. He beat Fed and Murray numerous times during those wins. Hardly weak opponents

Nadal had easy draws all 3 times at the USO and a sub par Djokovic in 2 of those finals. They were easy wins.

Fed was an old man in 2014-2016 and Murray was easy pickings.

By the same token Hewitt, Roddick, Agassi etc weren't weak opponents either.

Boy, well deserved final by Kevin.

 

[-NN-]

Incredible efforts. Anderson has made a fan out of me.

It's official, 2nd longest match at Wimbledon.

 

[ak24alive]

Respect.

 

[flyingboris]

The smiles of the players echo how we all feel. As in nobody is smiling.

BIG KEV DID IT! Thank the Lord!! Now get the real final on! Djokodal time at last!

Congrats to Anderson, hard luck to isner. Was gripping match, albeit don’t like big servers.

 

[tennisjedi]

Finally, it's done.

 

[mightyrick]

Just incredible stuff from both guys. Hopefully, Anderson gets a lot of work from his physio and is able to somewhat recover for the final.

 

[maticftw]

This feels so anti climatic

 

[robthai]

Main event can finally start

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

We made it!

 

[MasterZeb]

Both deserve to be in the final with that performance.

 

[abmk]

Anderson is through !!!

 

[BrokenGears]

Thank South Africa

 

[heftylefty]

Thank you saving tennis Kevin.

What an advantage for the winner of the second match. Fred hoping it’s Djokovic

 

[Desertman]

No, dammit, I want more! How dare they short-change me!

 

[MatsPhilander]

Can I go to the bathroom now?

Amazed anybody there hasn't wet themselves.

 

[StrongerThanAll]

Great match guys. Really, not trying to be a goof.

 

[hugobosstachini]

Ugh. Get these clowns out already. So annoying!

 

[JadeC]

Whew. It's over. Congrats to Anderson!

 

[MugOpponent]

Pure class from Isner to sign autographs after that.

 

[MasterZeb]

Main event can finally start

It’s just finished

 

[Deleted member 512391]

No fingers left, though.

 

[a10best]

Don't joke about this now cuz it's over. Get them Wimbledon officials to change this crap.
Who knows? John may have won a 5th set breaker.

 

[stringertom]

Anderson is neither A CHOKER or A SERVBOT!!!!

That LH forehand to help get the break was all heart, all conditioning and some great imagination!!!!

 

[jaggy]

Well that was something.

 

[sportmac]

Now that's how you celebrate. Take your hat off and walk to the net to shake the other guys hand (or hug in this case).

 

[Deleted member 23235]

ando to choke...

 

[tennisjedi]

How much does Anderson have left in the tank?

 

[abmk]

 

[BeatlesFan]

Finally, it's done.

Hats off to both for ending the torture. But I admire their grit.

 

[Rabin]

Sooo, like 30-40 minutes till Djokodal, that's what, 8.30 local time? Guessing they'll close the roof while they get ready.

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Well played from both!!!

 

[steenkash]

If Anderson wins Wimbledon with a 5 set final, he needs to be knighted.

 

[tennis_pro]

Anderson is in the top 5 now.

Will reach no 4 if a miracle happens and he wins the final.

 

[True Fanerer]

Crazy Crazy match. May never see that again in our lives and thank god its over. Don't see how Anderson can recover for the final at all.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Great effort from both guys. Congrats to Big Kev on reaching his first Wimbledon final.

 

[ak24alive]

Simply Epic.

Same sh1t again

 

[underground]

Ok fair play 13-11 followed by 26-24 hats off to Kevin, great effort from Isner too.

 

[Meles]

Please shut up.

Haha. My jinxing saved the day, no?

 

[bluetrain4]

The winner will be drained for the final.
Its a completely nonsense to be playing with no fifth set tiebreak.

I'd argue that if they don't want to be drained, do something to win in a shorter amount of time. Endurance over the whole tournament is one of the aspects of being a champion, not just their best play when they feel physically at their best.

 

[JohnnyMac Fan!]

is this a record Wimbledon semifinal?

 

[tennis_pro]

No, dammit, I want more! How dare they short-change me!

What a rip-off!

 

[CosmosMpower]

I need a gatorade after sitting at my desk and watching that match.

 

[DRII]

You guys were happy as hell that Fed lost. So suck it up.

uh no, I was happy that you fedephants were given the karma you deserved for dissing Anderson as a mug because he made it to the USO final last year and lost to Nadal!

get it straight buddy!

 

[Rago]

Anderson to cr!p his diaper in another slam final. BOOK IT.

 

[FedererDropShot]

Isner's physical condition let him down dearly.

Couldn't serve the bombs.
