Video: Oz Open Epics


The court-side clock can get quite a work-out at the Australian Open.

The Happy Slam can compel North American fans to indulge in all-night binge-watching and cause some sleepless nights for players, too.

Oz operates in its own distinctive time zone where night matches can become long-distance journeys into early morning.

In honor of the players who push each other to extremes, the Australian Open has issued its Top 5 Marathon matches.

From Francesca Schiavone fighting off six match points to finally subdue Svetlana Kuznetsova, 6-4, 1-6, 16-14 in four hours, 44 minutes—the longest women's Grand Slam match in Open Era history—to Novak Djokovic warding off Rafael Nadal in a gripping five-hour, 53-minute final—the top Oz epics are here.
