What you need to know first:
* Isner is unseeded
* Mahut is unseeded
* the bracket of 128 has 32 seeded players, of whom none can meet before the 3rd round

Read, set, calculate!

Doesn't the first match have to end before they can have a second? We should calculate the odds of that ever happening, first.
