I wanted to say John Isner Wimbledon 2010, but not quite.More than 24 hours on court during the tournament. I wonder if that has happened before.
Nadal spent almost 11 hours in the two last matches in 2012. He would have had to average 2 hours 12 minutes for the first five matches to go below 24 hours. I think that's unlikely without having checked.I wanted to say John Isner Wimbledon 2010, but not quite.
Alcaraz played for 23 hours at the 2022 USO, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is the record

Now all the normies at work who became tennis fans over the last year or so will be unbearable...
Nobody cares about that, it's about him being from our region and winning a big one.Yeah, God forbid if they celebrate the first Slam win in men's singles for the country in 48 years...

Still, hardly anything to frown upon...Nobody cares about that, it's about him being from our region and winning a big one.
Back then local media never even mentioned Berrettini's existence, it was almost as is Sinner was the only relevant Italian tennis player.Yeah I am assuming that had Berrettini won a slam, the region wouldn’t be as ecstatic.

No that was Djokovic in the semi+ final. The Fedal semi was under 4 hours. Nadal spent 22 hours and 27 minutes on court in that tournament.Nadal spent almost 11 hours in the two last matches in 2012.

Ah, okay. What about Djokovic then?No that was Djokovic in the semi+ final. The Fedal semi was under 4 hours. Nadal spent 22 hours and 27 minutes on court in that tournament.
Nadal before shot clocks? Absolutely could take that long. I verified the numbers.In the 2012 tournament? The only 5 setter Nadal played in that tournament was the final against Djokovic. He played 4 2 setters and 2 4 setters. No way he played 22+ hours that tournament.
What? Ten hours in two matches only leaves 12 hours for the last five matches. That doesn't sound implausible to me at all, especially when you consider that Nadal is not exactly the fastest player between points.In the 2012 tournament? The only 5 setter Nadal played in that tournament was the final against Djokovic. He played 4 2 setters and 2 4 setters. No way he played 22+ hours that tournament.
Like 20 hours and 45 minutes.Ah, okay. What about Djokovic then?
There is only one GOAT moment in Italian tennisBack then local media never even mentioned Berrettini's existence, it was almost as is Sinner was the only relevant Italian tennis player.
At least Sinner comes off as likeable and isn't competing in what is pretty much the boomer version of E-sports...As a Dutch F1 and Verstappen disliker, I know how you feel
Yeah I guess he doesn't have a wifebeater dad who's gonna be glorified by Italian media nowAt least Sinner comes off as likeable and isn't competing in what is pretty much the boomer version of E-sports...
