— Such long matches will remain in the memory for a lifetime. Unfortunately, it will not be a pleasant memory for Karen. Evans is a very difficult opponent.

The match between Khachanov and Evans set the record for the longest match at the US Open. The tennis players spent 5 hours and 35 minutes on the court.
