Outstanding. No words can articulate how epic this match was. It featured clutch play the WTA has needed so desperately for the past 6-12 months.
Francesca Schiavone and Svetlana Kuznetsova stepped on court for their fourth-round match. Four hours and 44 minutes later they embraced after playing a classic and setting a new Grand Slam record in the process.
The 30-game third set alone lasted exactly three hours, the two sets that preceded it 51 and 53 minutes respectively. If tennis can be likened to war, then this was a battle on a world scale.
Italian sixth seed Francesca Schiavone ultimately prevailed 6-4 1-6 16-14 over 23rd-seeded Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova.
