Anderson calls for change to Wimbledon format after winning 6:36 match

Kevin Anderson won the biggest match of his career in Wednesday's Wimbledon quarterfinals when he came from two sets and match point down to stun eight-time champion Roger Federer. It's debatable whether his next win, in the next round, surpasses that shocker in proverbial "bigness."

But that next win was certainly the longest match of his career—six hours and 36 minutes, to be exact. It was also the second-longest match in the history of Grand Slam tennis. The South African beat fellow college-turned-ATP pro, John Isner, by the absurd scoreline of 7-6 (6), 6-7 (5), 6-7 (9), 6-4, 26-24.

There was plenty of reaction to the result around the world, but Anderson's comments may have been the most telling:

Strokes of Genius is a world-class documentary capturing the historic 13-year rivalry between tennis icons Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. It is timed for release as the anticipation crests with Roger as returning champion, 10 years after their famed 2008 Wimbledon championship – an epic match so close and so reflective of their competitive balance that, in the end, the true winner was the sport itself.
