John Isner and Nicolas Mahut are now knotted at 18-18, and are guaranteed now to at least tie the post-tiebreak-era Wimbledon records for longest fifth set (38 games) and most games in a match (83).
The original records were set by Mark Philippoussis and Sjeng Schalken in a 4-6 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, 20-18 win by Philippoussis at Wimbledon in 2000.
