Marathon in Wimbledon

American giant tennis player John Isner and Frenchman Nicolas Mahut are still playing after more than 500 minutes on the court.  For those who are a bit slow, 500 minutes translate to more than 8 hours [update: match time is so far like 174 minutes but the match started yesterday].  Tennis is one those games that time is not on your side and one can't really run down the clock.  Both have to play every single point.  Isn't it tiring?

    今天台灣選手在溫網戰績憂喜參半,詹詠然 奮戰2盤,不敵俄羅斯 女將佩特洛娃(Nadia Petrova),她坦言,必須更強悍一些。

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
