Dan Evans won the longest U.S. Open tennis match of all time on Tuesday. Here is how long it took for him to defeat Karen Khachanov.
A few hours into a match that eventually set a U.S. Open record for length, Dan Evans glanced over at the scoreboard.Not to see how he was doing, but to clarify exactly how long he had been playing.“In the fourth set, I had to check the set to see what set we were in,” Evans said. “I wasn’t entirely sure what set we were in.”More than an hour later, Evans won the longest match at the U.S.
“I was hurting all over, really,” said the 34-year-old Evans, who was grabbing at his lower legs and resting his hands on his knees in the final set.“I don’t think I’ve played five hours, that long, in a day, ever — in two sessions, never mind in one. I was actually thinking that on the court. I’ve never practiced two hours, two hours. It’s normally an hour and a half.”Evans improved to 5-0 against Khachanov, a semifinalist at the 2022 U.S.
