Amazing match! Federer just broke at 8-7 in the final set… let’s see if he can pull it out!

11-11 now in the fifth set. Could be heading to the 12-12 tiebreaker.

One hell of a match. I get that eventually they need to stop, but a tiebreak still somehow seems wrong.

Best match ever. The loser won 36 games (ignoring tiebreaks, 7 more than the winner) and had 2 match points where he could’ve won but didn’t. And the winner of course survived that to win the match.

Is there video of the championship points Federer failed to convert? Pretty crucial, but even the longer highlight videos I have seen skip them. Frustrating!
