Second Serve

 

You have your long rallies, and you have your really long rallies. And, on clay you have your super duper long rallies, but this 42-stroke beauty between Argentina’s Diego Schwartzman and Germany’s Cedrik-Marcel Stebe takes the cake.

And somehow, it is capped off by one of the most perfect finishing volleys of the century, by Schwartzman. It’s a wonder that he could even stand at that juncture of the point, let alone finish it with gusto.

“I always try to play like this on the court way,” said Schwartzman after the match. “Trying to fight for every ball, every game, every set.”

No argument from us.

Schwartzman went on to claim a 1-6, 6-4, 6-2 victory in two hours and three minutes to reach the quarterfinals of the German Open.

Germany’s Florian Mayer also advanced to the quarterfinals on Wednesday in Hamburg.
