Wimbeldon match suspended

At 9:10 p.m. in England, officials at Wimbledon suspended play.

It will give UGA grad John Isner and France’s Nicolas Mahut much-needed rest.

They have been playing for more than 10 hours.

The match is tied at 59.

Isner and Mahut are in the fifth set. There are no tie-breakers because it is the final set.

Isner’s former tennis coach at UGA has spent the day running a tennis camp as well as running in and out of the office to watch the match on television.

“This is surreal,” Manny Diaz told the AJC.

“The scoreboard isn’t even working; [it doesn’t] even know how to get to these numbers.”
