Yet another classic Aussie Open match. 49th ranked Janko Tipsarevic pushed top seed Roger Federer to the absolute limit in their third (yes third) round match.
Janko made the top seed work for his 6-7 (5), 7-6 (1), 5-7, 6-1, 10-8 win. Yep, that’s someone not named Rafa Nadal taking Roger to five.
This match started at around 1am ET and didn’t finish until after 5am. 4 and a half hours!! It pushed back the other matches scheduled for Rod Laver Arena a quick win by Venus over Sania Mirza and another 5 setter between Hewitt and Baghdatis (or Paghdatis as my Greek friend would say) that ended at 4:36am local time. I sure hope those ballboys and ballgirls got paid overtime!
Popularity: unranked [?]
