If I have ever seen a sporting event in which both competitors deserved to win it was this one. It's going to be interesting to see if the U.S. corporate media will cover it. Their national chauvinism and racism (the only American tennis champions are two Black sisters) . Just for the record at 4:02:48, it is the longest match in masters series history.
