4 hours and 48 minutes.
It's shorter than Australian Open SF actually, but it did feel ages because Rafa was down for 2 set and fought for 28 games on the 5th.
It tortured me to watch this match till the end because it started on 10 PM here and finished around 3 AM.
Somewhere around 12 PM, after Roger's match at CC already finished, I was considering to stop watching it because I have work to do on the next day but I can't. I felt like he was going to lose if I stop.
After 4 hours and 48 minutes of watching, he lost the 5th set at 13 - 15 in the end, but honestly, I wasn't sad like I should be.
Not because I could sleep already but because I felt like I was lucky to watch this match until it ended. Seeing how Muller stayed calm and rarely to make an error especially on the 5th set until the last point, it's incredible.
I wanted Rafa to win this match. I wanted a chance to have another Fedal of course, but there was only one could win this, and yesterday that one was Muller. I didn't felt sad because I was the witness of the reason why Rafa was such a worrier. He fought every point as if his life depended on it.
4 hours and 48 minutes of torture but it was worth it.
