Rafael Nadal and Gilles Muller played for about four and a half hours, and played their fifth set for approximately seven days. Some people grew beards. Twitter doesn't have the attention span for a match like this, and it shows. No one could look away, but everyone was complaining about it.

Watching Nadal then went shopping. Took dog for a walk. Had a sleep. Had dinner. Watched a film turned over and he's still going #Wimbledon

It was a truly epic clash, with the server having a gigantic advantage. One thing is for sure, everyone is glad it's finally over and the jokes won't stop anytime soon.
This is without doubt the best point of the tournament! Nadal and Muller take a bow 👏 #Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/6a2DHb539t
