Lauren Davis is almost too gritty.
Fantastic advertisement for women's tennis this

Great match, no holding back and the intensity hasn't lapsed as we've gone deep into this set. Whoever loses is gonna be ultra stiff
Strokes are so pure. Great tennis.

Cant see this beating Kuznetsova and Schiavone from 5 or so years ago.
think that went for 4 hours and 18-16 IIRC. surely someone will crack before then.....surely?????
Edit: holy crap. just looked at that match again and it went for 4:44 hrs and 16-14 (47 games total)

That's correct, very easily. That whole match took around 24 minutes less (so far) than the third set in Halep-Davis.

If she hadn't gotten the breast reduction he wouldn't be so critical.
How does Hamish still have a job
Quality match. Scores may end up breaking a record!?
Hard to believe people say they "hate tennis" when in the last 24 hours we have had some rippers in Halep/Davis & Kyrgios/Tsonga matches.
Only round 3 :O plenty of classic matches to come in next week or so!

Hamish and basil. Channel 7 have incredibly low standards for their commentary.

Actually that's not the case in the tennis forum. It's a lot more positive, friendly and much less antagonistic than the rest of BF for most of the year except when it is inundated by negative critical posters from elsewhere for two weeks. Is it any wonder some of the regulars get sick if it. Maybe check the lie of the land before you come out swinging.
FWIW I love seeing a lower ranked player take out a big seed any way they can, it's what sport is all about to me, triumph over adversity.

Vibes of 2008 about this one.
Is 18-16 the record highest score in the womens?

just looked. 48 games.
Longest match by number of games, using tiebreaker scoring
1996 quarterfinals, 48 games
Chanda Rubin 6 2 16
Sánchez Vicario 4 6 14
now that we are looking at records, you know what is going to happen
