Oh, grow up. This was simply the celebration of endurance combined with extraordinary incompetence. It is a giant joke on the fans. What made that apparent was the juxtaposition (I watched between Cup games yesterday) of this match with Federer's. It was like watching high school tennis by comparison.
Look at the match stats - the extraordinary serving percentages. Both men excel in serve and are really, really terrible return men. That's the recipe for a long match. It was so bad during the hour I watched that I wondered if they had an agreement before the day began to set this record.
This is basically the baseball equivalent of celebrating the record for most pickoff attempts in a game. I love tennis when it's played well. This match was sheer tedium, and I'm surprised anyone is so personally upset with my opinion.
