The longest win of Jannik Sinner’s career is three hours and 48 minutes.

He is likely going to have to beat that if he is to defeat Djokovic tonight. We’re into three hours and 15.

But he is also playing a 38-year-old who really has no business being here right now.

Djokovic has not played five-sets in over two years – this is an astonishing display, already.
