Today was the end of the longest tennis match in history. The 23rd-seeded  John Isner of Tampa, Fla., and qualifier Nicolas Mahut of France played 11 hours and 5 minutes. The match finally ended at 70-68 in the fifth set, after three days, not with the customary handshake between opponents, but with a hug.
