Yep. It's going to last a while unless someone can break the serve.

I turned it on when it was 7-7 in the 5th. It's now 10-10, and from what I've seen, there have only been 2 break points. Great match.

I've watched the whole thing. It's been incredible. Comparable to Rocco Mediate's charge with Tiger at the U.S. Open last year.

I Google'd it, and it's the longest men's championship in Wimbledon history, I believe. Don't know when it began, but last year's was the longest in time, and it's didn't go this long in the 5th set.

But curiously, by time it's not... according to the blog I'm reading the match is under 4 hours, which doesn't come close to the 4:48 of last year. Last year's match was rain delayed but the Wikipedia article indicated that the 4:48 was actual play time?

Update From Wikipedia:
Longest singles final by number of games since the introduction of the tiebreaker: In 2008, Nadal took 62 games to defeat Federer, while the 2009 final currently is going into its 76th game.
