I watched it all the way till 59-59. Isner wanted to continue playing' date=' but Mahut didnt so they suspended play. Its a 1200 BST start, so 4.30pm India time. Its a pity they still have to continue playing on Court 18.[/quote'] The match won't start before 3:30pm BST (8:30pm IST). There are couple of singles matches to be played before that.

"Somewhere in a rented house nearby, a Dutchman named Thiemo De Bakker was likely to have been laughing uncontrollably. Why? De Bakker is due to play the winner of this match in the second round. In the first round earlier in the day he had beaten Santiago Giraldo 16-14 in the final set, and probably worried that he might feel a little jaded in the next round" :haha:

Remarkably, marathon man Mahut had already played three qualifying matches to reach the first round. The Frenchman’s progress included a straight-sets win over Canada’s Frank Dancevic, a 24-22 final-set victory over Britain’s Alex Bogdanovic and a five-setter against Austrian Stefan Koubek.
