Wow! that was one heck of a tennis match that just concluded at the Australian Open! Good summary at that link:
Top-seeded Rafael Nadal has beaten fellow left-handed Spaniard Fernando Verdasco in the longest match in the history of the Australian Open...
Nadal beat Verdasco 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (2), 6-7 (1), 6-4 Friday and will try to prevent Roger Federer from winning his record-equaling 14th Grand Slam when the two meet Sunday in the final.Verdasco, who knocked out the bookie's favorite Andy Murray in the fourth round, put up a stubborn resistance. But despite a whole host of winners and some scintillating tennis, it was the 14th seed's unforced errors that eventually cost him with a double fault at match point handing victory to the world number one.
