    Does this suck on a match point?

    I was there;

    Unbelievable watching it - 15 match points came and went before Blinkova finally won on her 10th mp and 16th of the match. Rybakina is my
    wife's fave player but she now also likes Blinkova after that effort.
    Expensive tickets $600 each but well worth it - I was there when history
    was made - I have lots more videos from that match, also met her and her
    coach during a practice session : )

    I also hung around and watched Medvedev win til 3:40 am. I thought he'd
    win even from 0-2 down, he was hitting it beautifully.

    Roddick Aynaoui in Australia in 2003 I think was longest ever at that point?

    On January 22nd, 2003—20 years ago to this day—Andy Roddick and Younes El Aynaoui played one of the most electric Grand Slam matches in history, with the American defeating the Moroccan in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, 4-6, 7-6 (5), 4-6,
    6-4, 21-19, after four hours and 59 minutes.





    Why not make fifth set tie-break until 21?

    Although that number seems a bit fishy & out of whack compared to other
    long ones.Then again, so was Isner-Mahut Wimbledon marathon...

    The longest main tour main event (not qualification) match seems to be...

    Reilly Opelka won a 24–22 second set tiebreak against John Isner in the semifinals of the 2022 Dallas Open, winning the match 7–6(9–7), 7–6(24–22).

    ...Isner & Opelka. A shocker.
