"Nothing like this will ever happen again - ever... It stinks someone had to lose" - American John Isner about his 11 hour five minute win over Nicolas Mahut which ended 70-68 in the fifth set.
"His toes were just torched. They looked like deli meat. They're disgusting. I don't know if it was from playing that long or doing whatever" - Andy Roddick on Isner's wear and tear during the match.
"In a way, I wish I was them, in some ways I wish I wasn't them. I love this. I know they're maybe not loving this, but this is unheard of in our game... I don't know if I was crying or laughing. It was too much... Both (are) winners" - Roger Federer on the Isner-Mahut match.
"This is the greatest ever advertisement we've had for the sport" - John McEnroe on Isner-Mahut match.
