Federer vs del Potro epic at London Olympics

Roger Federer got the better of Juan Martin del Potro in a four hour 26 minute epic to reach the Olympic men's singles final at Wimbledon on 3 August 2012. The 30-year-old Swiss survived a record-breaking scrap to win 3-6 7-6 19-17 in the longest men's three-set match played in the professional era. The third set alone took an astonishing 163 minutes with Federer, who served for the match at 10-9 but was broken to love, claiming victory when his exhausted opponent fired an attempted backhand pass into the net.
