    How often does a championship match go to a fifth set?

    That's about as good as tennis can get, that tiebreaker.

    I'm no expert, but I don't think it's all that rare.

    Could darkness come into play? It's 7:33 in London...

    The consecutive points at 7-7 and 8-7, Nadal, were perhaps two of the finest back-to-back points I have ever seen. Nadal's forehand pass at 7-7 was otherworldly, and Federer's ass-to-the-wall pass at 8-7 was even better.

    McEnroe is, indeed, fabulous today. But he was reduced to "wow" about five times in that tiebreak alone.

    They ditch the tiebreak still in the fifth set, correct? If so, call Musco for some temporary lighting!

    They'll bring their cars around to play in the illumination of the headlights.

    Agreed....Even if Roger loses this set, and even if he never wins another Slam, I will still say he's the best to ever pick up a racket.
