Watched it via text online...looked like some game. Well played to Isner. Reckon he wont get any further though as he;ll be too shattered. Watch out for that Mahut in the future. He'll be back.

Mahut is 28 and he's never been past the 3rd round of a Grand Slam. He's always been handy on grass (got to the final of Queen's one year) but he's never going to set the world on fire. Lovely guy though and I wish him every success.

Another 5-setter for Nadal today, although I have to say he never really looked like losing.

Petzschner played the game of his life and still came up short; it's amazing how consistently Nadal is able to fend off challengers who really do raise their game for the occasion.

Quality match between Clijsters and Henin there. Henin lost :( still very much mixing the sublime with the focking terrible!!

Fair play to TG4 whose coverage I have to say has been excellent. BBC are stuck on centre court and court 18 only

It was a good match alright. Delighted Kim won though - can't stand Justine.

Federer also through in straight sets.

Nope. He looks very p'd off.

That TG4 viewer is great, loads quickly and rarely drops.

Rafa leads 5-4 in the third set and is serving for the set. Soderling has just called for the trainer - something up with his foot.

EDIT: He has taken off his runner and sock and his big toe is heavily strapped. CJ has taken up tennis - who knew??
