I hope one of the Fox and Friends producers had the guts to tell Gretchen Carlson what the word “hater” means in the year 2011.

During a tournament in Key Biscane, Fla., Spanish tennis player David Ferrer got pissed off at a crying baby in the stands, so he did what any rational person would do, he tried to hit the baby with a tennis ball.

World No. 1 and 2 tennis players Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer sat down in Cincinnati last week to record a promo spot. Neither are professional actors, and it appears there was no actual script. Predictably, there was some difficulty getting the ad finished.

1. Watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy 1.1827957 times

   

   The extended cut of the trilogy is only 20 minutes longer than the tennis match.

2. Watch all 3 Toy Story films 2.4 times

   

   Highly recommended.

3. Watch the Godfather trilogy 1.21100917 times

   

   An offer you could probably refuse.

4. Watch 7.333333 World Cup games

   

   Ignoring injury time.

5. Probably pick up your iPhone 4 (probably)

   And probably have enough time left over to drop at least 10 calls!

1. 4.05pm: Isner and Mahut are dying a thousand deaths out there on Court 18 and yet nobody cares, because they're watching the football.

2. 4.45pm: Both men, as has been established, are now dead on their feet, although the Frenchman looks the marginally less rotten (a few less worms wriggling from his eye sockets).

3. 4.50pm: It's over. It's finally over. It was a long, hard match and it took its toll on the players. But finally, at long last, we have a result. I'm actually talking about the football here. England win 1-0 against Slovenia to go through to the knock-out stage. The Isner-Mahut match is still ongoing: 24-24 in the final set. Isner's leg has just dropped off.

4. 5.05pm: Under the feet of John Isner and Nicolas Mahut, the grass is growing. Before long they will be playing in a jungle and when they sit down at the change of ends, a crocodile will come to menace them.

5. 5.45pm: False dawns and shimmering mirages out on the jungle Congo of Court 18. For a moment there, I thought Isner was cracking. The man can barely move his feet any more and Mahut still has some bounce, lashing a backhand return for a clean winner.

6. 5.55pm: ...So yes, it was a dream, it was a lie. The Amazing Zombie Tennis Pros are not through with us yet. Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

7. 6pm: The score stands at 34-34. In order to stay upright and keep their strength, John Isner and Nicolas Mahut have now started eating members of the audience. They trudge back to the baseline, gnawing on thigh-bones and sucking intestines. They have decided that they will stay on Court 18 until every spectator is eaten. Only then, they say, will they consider ending their contest.

8. 6.35pm: Zombie Mahut double faults to allow Zombie Isner a glimmer of hope at deuce. It is merely a glimmer.

9. 7.45pm: What happens if we steal their rackets? If we steal their rackets, the zombies can no longer hit their aces and thump their backhands and keep us all prisoner on Court 18. I'm shocked that this is only occurring to me now. Will nobody run onto the court and steal their rackets? Are they all too scared of the zombies' clutching claws and gore-stained teeth?

10. 8.40pm: It's 56 games all and darkness is falling. This, needless to say, is not a good development, because everybody knows that zombies like the dark.

11. 8.55pm: But wait! An official has stepped out on the court. Is it an official, or is it the angel? Is this endless, epic Battle of the Zombies finally going to be brought to a close?

12. 9.25pm: ...If you're going to watch a pair of zombies go at each other for eleventy-billion hours, far into the night, it might as well be these zombies. They were incredible, astonishing, indefatigable. They fell over frequently but they never stayed down. My hat goes off to these zombies. Possibly my head goes off to them too.

This ball boy at the US Open moves so fast, he practically flew off the court.
