Categorised under the topic of Sports.

That this House applauds, salutes and recognises the two players who have given the world the most titanic game in tennis history, which started on Court 18 at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships on 22 June and only finished 11 hours and five minutes playing time later after a full day's play on 23 June and further play on 24 June; records the House's collective amazement at a match which broke so many records but also gave so much pleasure and excitement at the same time as the players showed such good humour, mutual respect, skill, energy and endurance; and congratulates John Isner and Nicolas Mahut on playing themselves so proudly into the record books, with the final result being a win for the younger man by the phenomenal score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-7, 7-6 and 70-68.
