Epic Wimbledon Action

Tennis

A 24-game fifth set epic, and at the most epic setting at the All-England Club, to boot.

“British hope Tim Henman needed two days to make it to the second round of Wimbledon, outlasting Carlos Moya on Tuesday in a riveting conclusion in which he won the fifth set 13-11 on his seventh match point.”

The only thing non-epic was the ending…

“A double-fault by Moya on the third match point of the 24th game of the set gave Henman a 6-3, 1-6, 5-7, 6-2, 13-11 win that enthralled the Centre Court crowd at the All England Club.”

A double-fault? I think he tanked it.
