Wimbledon & the "Buzz" about Isner v. Mahut

Wimbledon update: Isner vs. Mahut… what are the odds? It seems like a deja-vu all over again… Especially since this is happening in a first round again; it’s just strange!

It’s the buzz of the All England Lawn Tennis Club also known as AELTA… Or, SW 19, which is the postal code of that area. This same buzz is all around London, all around England, everywhere… even Australia, Germany, France, USA, Malaysia, and India! Wherever tennis is played, this is the buzz.

Questions:

Odds of happening? Odds on who is going to win? And in how many sets? What court will they play on? The same court with the plaque? The new court three? Court two, court one? Center court? Did the “q” start yet? Maybe they should flip a coin for the match…
Sound off. What do you think about the odds, or anything mentioned above?
