Daniel Evans rallied from 0-4 down in the final set to beat Karen Khachanov in the longest match in US Open history on Tuesday, a five-hour, 35-minute epic on court six.
In front of a lively crowd, Britains Evans beat the 23rd seed from Russia 6-7 (6/8), 7-6 (7/2), 7-6 (7/4), 4-6, 6-4.
It was a long, long battle, Evans said. I thought I played pretty well for the majority of the match. Obviously I was struggling physically, but so was he.
It was sort of who could last the longest in the end.
The previous longest US Open match was Stefan Edbergs victory over Michael Chang in the 1992 semi-finals, which lasted five hours and 26 minutes with Edberg winning 6-7 (3/7), 7-5, 7-6 (7/3), 5-7, 6-4.
