一場球賽, 打了四小時四十四分鐘.

兩位女將Schiavone 和 Kuznestova 廝殺, 第三盤的決勝負的比數居然是 16:14.

ESPN的轉播,從第三盤開始, 誰也想不到這比賽竟是如此精采.

我只不過是個觀眾, 好幾回都想放棄了, 真想掉眼淚.

尤其兩位女將,都是負傷上場, 她們的奮戰不懈精神, 真是讓人敬佩.

另一場球賽, 2008女單冠軍Sarapova連輸兩盤, 敗給德國年輕小將 Petkovic .

Seven months after John Isner and Nicolas Mahut set a record for the longest men's match in history, the women had a marathon of their own Sunday night at the Australian Open.

The fourth-round match between defending French Open champion Francesca Schiavone and Svetlana Kuznestova went on for a record-breaking four hours and 44 minutes, the longest in history for women at a Grand Slam.

Though more than six hours short of Isner-Mahut, the Schiavaone-Kuznetsova duel was equally, if not more, impressive. It featured numerous breaks of serves, exhausting rallies and countless match points saved. The players took chances in going for crosscourt winners and coming to net on both serve-and-volleys and chip-and-charges. That Wimbledon marathon was impressive solely because of its length. This marathon was impressive for its quality too.
