Maybe not. As I wrote that Cilic breaks early on. Big John has it all to do.

The tennis now is getting good in this.one and it's not all of a sudden just about big serving.

Been a great day at Wimbledon. Really hope this one concludes tonight but can't see more than another 2 games tops before play is suspended...

It's been a very enjoyable final set this, with Isner under pressure every time he serves now to stay in the match.

Could be right TB it'd be a shame if it had to resume tomorrow but the way it's going it probably will happen. It's not a shotmakers match by any means but it's still well worth a watch this one.

I'd hate to see one of them lose due to a bad call, with hawkeye now out of action.

Cilic hasn't hit his top form yet. I really think he can win Wimbledon one day as he can be very dangerous on grass.

Just thought, why is Isner still wearing a hat when it is now cool there and the light is dimming.

No matter now match suspended. Gonna be watching this when it resumes.

He has been playing for over 4hrs, so he has probably forgot he is still wearing it:lol:

Isner is usually very clutch when it matters. His serving consistency is incredible, for me it's up there with Karlovic's.

It's better than Karlovic imo as it's not just the first serve but his second serve backs it up that well it's probably still better than 99 percent of most players first serves!

I noticed they stopped it when Cilic had a slight chance to potentially break Isner - maybe they thought it would be best to end it then so the loser couldn't blame the "bad light"?

Andy's latest column, such a great sporting champion, helping all the other Brits when he can :

' It’s great to have some British company in the third round of Wimbledon and James Ward isn’t finished yet – he can compete at this level.

It makes a big difference when all the players are supporting each other and it’s not negative or bitchy, and I try to help with that.

Everybody should be backing each other rather than thinking, ‘I don’t want him to do well because that takes my spot.’

Fortunately we get on well and if we can help each other to do better, that’s great.

I’ve had Wardy, Kyle Edmund, Jamie Baker and Oli Golding out for training blocks with me in Miami and I think it benefits all of us.

It’s not about saying I want James to get to 90 in the world; I just want each of them to get to their potential.

Not everyone has the capability to get to 100 or 50 or 20, but if they show they’re doing everything they can when I practise with them, that they’re going to be disciplined and they want to work hard, then I want to spend time and train with them.

I care about the game and I want as many of them as possible to do well. '

Indeed. We see this happen time and time again, but fair play to Troicki who is playing very well.

Cilic finally wins after a double fault of all things from Isner.

Ward out now on Court 1 in a very winnable match versus Pospisil. Hope the crowd get into this to help Ward.

Kerber out and maybe Lisicki - not good for the German ladies.

Swiss on the other hand having a great tournament so far..

Dr. Ivo puts Tsonga out!

Up to Murray to stop the 50 year old then.
