What was the longest match ever played at Wimbledon? This plaque commemorates the famous John Isner vs. Nick Mahut match that lasted 11 hours and 5 minutes, spread over three days! That match is one of the reasons the majors recently got together and decided to have the same tie-break rules.
The Grand Slam Board announced in March: "On behalf of the Australian Open, Roland-Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open, the Grand Slam Board are pleased to announce the joint decision to play a 10-point tie-break at all Grand Slams, to be played when the score reaches six games all in the final set."

How did week 2 go for my 2023 fitness goals? Answer:
- Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed = no alcohol (slept better, felt better, live longer!)
- Five BARCH functional training sessions and TPI drills for golf-specific fitness.
- The electric toothbrush is still in the box, but I did floss!
