I like sporting records, and this is just amazing.
I watched a bit of it last night, and it was incredible how they still managed to play so well after being on court so long.
I wonder if they're going to change the rules in light of this match.
Apparently the US Open allows fifth set tie breaks, but none of the other Grand Slam events do.
