Not only was she incredibly gracious as she shook my hand but I can attest to that fact that her forearm was very well-developed. She looked extremely fit too. Just a great athlete.

In fact the longest tennis match recorded was in the 2004 French Open and it took just over 6 1/2 hours for Fabrice Santoro to beat Arnaud Clément, the final set ending 16–14.

Wawrinka looked very strong and controlled the match in the early games, but Murray's determination and true grit got him through.

Rafael Nadal easily beat Murray in the quarter final match this evening. Andy Murray looked very tired throughout the match, which may be a sign that his fitness is not up to the standards of the top tennis players. The match against Nadal was never going to be easy, at least for Murray. Nadal made swept Murray aside, winning three straight sets6-3 6-2 6-4 in just one hour and 55 minutes.
