After playing the longest women's match in US Open history, winner Shelby Rogers wept tears of joy on Thursday and loser Daria Gavrilova felt like she wasted an afternoon.
After a record three hours and 33 minutes, 62nd-ranked American Rogers outlasted Russian-born Australian 25th seed Gavrilova 7-6 (8/6), 4-6, 7-6 (7/5) on a fifth match point in a final set that lasted 90 minutes.
"That's pretty cool, casually setting records today," Rogers said. "I didn't feel like it was the longest match ever, but it's starting to set in a little bit now. Going to be sore."
Their second-round encounter on Court 10 went past the previous longest match on the New York hardcourts, the 3 hours and 23 minutes it took British qualifier Johanna Konta to defeat Spain's Garbine Muguruza 7-6 (7/4), 6-7 (4/7), 6-2 in the second round in 2015. Rogers advanced to a third-round matchup on Saturday against Ukraine's fourth-seeded Elina Svitolina for a spot in the last 16.
Rogers was tearful after embracing Gavrilova at the net.
"I'm a very emotional person. I cry a lot... that's what I do," she said. "It was a very special moment for me, being down in the third, coming back, having a few match points.
"Just so many ups and downs for both of us. To get through that on the winning side was just really incredible. I just had to let it all go."
