Wimbledon is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Wimbledon.
Sports Buzz Still haven't caught any of the matches at Wimbledon this year? Perhaps a gallery of the tournament's hottest players will motivate you.
Sports Buzz The Epic 11-hour match between John Isner and Nicholas Mahut just ended. Eisner won (spoilers!). Here's what you could have done instead of watching a French guy and a 6'9” giant swat a ball back and forth for 660 minutes.

On and on and on, and on some more, they played longer than anyone ever had before. And still there was no winner.
Sports Buzz While live-blogging the 10 hour match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut, Guardian.co.uk editor Xan Brooks sort of lost his wits a little. After hours in the sun, the match apparently devolved into a zombie nightmare around Brooks. Things got pretty grim. Here are the highlights:
Sports Buzz The American half of the longest tennis match in history is 6'9! He's also the second best American tennis player (behind Andy “Ferret” Roddick.) Other fun facts: he's 25, he went to UGA, and he does not currently have a girlfriend, according to his website! Update: ISNER WINS! America!
Sports Buzz American John Isner won the longest professional tennis match ever today after 3 consecutive days of playing. Isner edged out Nicolas Mahut for a 70-68 game victory after 11 hours of play in the 5th set of their 1st round.
Sports Update: Wimbledon has already started. (So many sports these days.) In its honor, this generation's Tim Henman took to the streets of London with a racket and a dream. And some paintballs.
The World's Greatest Tennis Player Ever™ hit the Wimbledon courts in some pretty fancy attire (for Wimbledon, where players are supposed to wear all white). He even brought a gold manbag to match his Sgt. Pepper warm-up suit. And then he dominated his opponent in straight sets, so whatever, keep the sparkles coming.
British bank HSBC partners with Wimbledon to produce massive grass art portraits. The portraits are essentially grass photographs. The two artists commissioned for the project, Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, who are known for similar work, snapped photographs of Wimbledon notables and projected the black and white negatives onto seedling grass in a dark room. The process went on for 12 hours a day for over a week before the competition. Given the differences in light exposure in the grass’s formative stages, the photographs “develop” out of the grass as it grows. Neat!
Sports Buzz After five sets and several rain delays, the 22 year old Spaniard beat five-time champion Roger Federer to win Wimbledon in one of the longest, most gripping games in the history of tennis. Unflappable John McEnroe was so visibly moved by the results that he offered Federer a hug live on air, which is like watching a grizzly bear shopping for tampons. You just don’t see that kind of thing happen every day.
Mysterious faceless mutants appear in photographs from Wimbledon. Creepy, but still not quite as gross as the cat with no face.
Here we have Conan O'Brien shamelessly (and adorably) exploiting…
And you thought these reactions were bad. A million face palms is not…
