Alexander Zverev edged Jenson Brooksby in a three hour, 19-minute epic that ended at 4:55 a.m. Acapulco time.
Alexander Zverev endured an epic long night's journey into day to make mind-blowing history in Acapulco.
Defending Acapulco champion Zverev saved match points battling by Jenson Brooksby 3-6, 7-6(10), 6-2 in a three hour, 19-minute marathon match that ended at 4:55 a.m. in Acapulco on Tuesday, which is the latest finish in tennis history.

The second set alone spanned one hour, 51 minutes. A stubborn Zverev finally closed a couple of hours before sunrise. The marathon broke the previous record for latest finish set, which was 4:34 a.m., when Lleyton Hewitt outlasted Marcos Baghdatis at the 2008 Australian Open.

“Today I didn’t play my best, there’s no doubt about it," Zverev said. "But I didn’t give up. I knew that I want to do well.
"I’m the defending champion and I want to give myself the best chance to win. I did well to survive today.”
On match point, Zverev zapped a big serve down the middle then shared a survivor's embrace with Brooksby.
This wild and crazy late-night adventure came after the two longest matches in tournament history were played on Monday night.

That was merely a prelude to the draining drama of Stefan Kozlov’s 7-6(8), 5-7, 6-3 triumph over Grigor Dimitrov, which spanned three hours, 21 minutes setting the stage for the the Zverev-Brooksby epic, which ended as the day of play in Dubai was just beginning.

Cramping Kozlov Pulls out Epic Victory Against Dimitrov in Longest Match in Acapulco History
The American was down and seemingly out, but he found a way to a miraculous triumph. By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Monday February 21, 2022
Only two matches have been played on the new center court at the Abierto Telcel in Acapulco, and already the tournament has been absolutely bonkers. The two longest matches in tournament history were played on Monday, with John Isner‘s three-set win over Fernando Verdasco coming in at 3:13, but it paled in comparison to the high drama of Stefan Kozlov‘s 7-6(8), 5-7, 6-3 triumph over Grigor Dimitrov, which lasted 3:21.
Not only did Kozlov earn his first Top-50 win since 2017, he had to battle through seismic cramps from the second set onward to get it.
The cramps hit the American hard when he broke for 5-3, and, thanks to some help from a sporting Dimitrov, he was able to return to the court – but lose the next four games.
Absolutely crazy scenes in Acapulco, and @GrigorDimitrov never forgets how to be a great sport.
AMAZING – and we hope Stefan Kozlov is okay. 👏#AMT2022 pic.twitter.com/ZFtoF2lllA

Most thought it was time for Kozlov to throw in the towel, but the 24-year-old, who entered the draw as a lucky loser on Monday when Maxime Cressy pulled out with a stomach ailment, had other ideas.
Making matters even more epic was the fact that Kozlov had been practicing with Rafael Nadal when he got the news that he’d be playing tonight and he had to cut their practice short. That might explain the cramps, but no worries, Kozlov apologized for having to skip out on the King of Clay.
No apologies necessary 🤣@stefankozlov had to cut practice with @RafaelNadal early to enter the main draw as a lucky loser today at #AMT2022 pic.twitter.com/eVYqt5uj82

In the end Kozlov found the energy and seemed to be suffering a lot less as he closed out the epic victory.
He’ll need whatever energy he has left, as he is slated to face either Rafael Nadal or Denis Kudla in the next round, ironically enough.

The Editors’ Quote of the Day:
“And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. And when he had called the people unto him with his …
