most consecutive 3 set matches(or matches that went the distance) between the 2 same competitors in a row at itst. Swifty and I never played in a 5 set match(thank god ). Our streak ended at 8 in a row yesterday with a 7-6 6-2 score line. However that 6-2 is very deceptive because Swifty started experimenting and did so the whole set. It was a smaller tournament and the Australian open is up coming so its obvious why he did it. But did the streak really end?
I'm counting both ms and ws matches to get to 8. And this wasn't done on topspin 3 where 3 set matches were the norm. It was done in topspin 4 (patch 3 version) where 3 set matches are very rare which makes it more impressive.
