I wanted to say John Isner Wimbledon 2010, but not quite.

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.
Now all the normies at work who became tennis fans over the last year or so will be unbearable...
Yeah Medvedev holds the record for most on court total time at a Grand Slam. 24 hours or so.
The length of time plus the Melbourne summer heat killed him from the 3rd set today.
Medvedev’s body gave out from underneath him. He played exactly the way he needed to early on, aggressive and not giving Sinner long rallies. A fresh Medvedev would be fine going toe to toe with the Italian in longer rallies, but he spent so much time on court just to get to the final, it was Lloyd inevitable that he would run out of gas if he didn’t close it in straight sets, and it was almost a given he would lose the 5th set.
The match against Nadal in 2022 was a choke job. This wasn’t a choke job, it was a physical loss.
He would do well to change his tactics and positioning going forward. Standing so far behind the base line returning serve and playing so passively in the early rounds wasted his energy for no reason.
He was outplaying Sknner in the first two sets and actually was at deuce on Sinner’s serve in the 3rd set at 4-4. That would have been the match.
The guy is now 1-5 in grand slam finals. Gonna be hard for him to recover from losing back to back AO finals after leading 2-0 in both of them.

Yeah, God forbid if they celebrate the first Slam win in men's singles for the country in 48 years...
Nobody cares about that, it's about him being from our region and winning a big one.
Yeah I am assuming that had Berrettini won a slam, the region wouldn’t be as ecstatic.
Back then local media never even mentioned Berrettini's existence, it was almost as is Sinner was the only relevant Italian tennis player.
It has been a long time since a German has won a men's grand slam single title.
1996 - Becker at the AO.
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.
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.
Nadal before shot clocks? Absolutely could take that long. I verified the numbers.
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.
Like 20 hours and 45 minutes.
He had a really long semi and final, but back then he would not *** around so much in the first rounds.
There is only one GOAT moment in Italian tennis
At least Sinner comes off as likeable and isn't competing in what is pretty much the boomer version of E-sports...
Yeah I guess he doesn't have a wifebeater dad who's gonna be glorified by Italian media now
