Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in action during his semifinal match against Spain’s Rafael Nadal at the Wimbledon 2018 tennis championship in London.
Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic were fighting out the second longest semi-final ever played at Wimbledon on Saturday, just a day after Kevin Anderson and John Isner had set the record for the longest.
Anderson and Isner's epic on Friday ran to 6 hours and 36 minutes, the second longest Grand Slam singles match ever played.
On Saturday, Nadal and Djokovic went past the previous second longest of 4 hours and 44 minutes when Djokovic defeated Juan Martin del Potro in 2013.
