Jannik Sinner, the current world No. 2 in men's tennis, has lost in the semifinals of the Australian Open to Novak Djokovic, in a five-set thriller. He is now 0/7 in matches lasting 4 hours or more and has lost 10 of the 20 longest matches in his career, as seen in the graph (cut-off is 3 hours 30 minutes).

Pretty much what everyone was saying Djokovic’s plan would be before the match – drag it out as long as possible and try to outlast him.
Bro can’t last 4 hours eh
couldn’t this trend be true of all players? that the longest matches *for them* are natrually outliers in length, and so they’re more likely to lose?
a more indicative stat would be to show his win rate at different lengths compared to other top players
Maybe he needs more of the banned substances
I’d like to see this for Novak
