Ok, so everyone in the world probably heard about this game. I saw ESPN's front page go from World Cup coverage to reading "To Infinity and Beyond!!". It is absolutely incredible what these guys accomplished on the tennis court and will never be repeated again....
I actually attended the same Saddlebrook training academy in Tampa back in '06 that Isner credited for toughing him up to go the distance: http://www.youtube.com/wat
