So I just caught the end of an absurd match that just finished. Wimbledon third round, (12) Sushant Chiba vs. (17) Il-Sung Jung.

First three sets go to tiebreaks. Jung, then Chiba, then Jung again. Sushant wins the fourth easily. Cruise to victory? Hardly. Up through 7-7 in the 5th, on serve. Chiba breaks for 8-7 lead ... then double-faults at 0-15 and eventually gives it back. Serves for the match and fails, so it's 8-all. Both players obviously tense and blowing chance after chance, but it stays even. 9-9. 10-10. 11-11. Chiba breaks again, then double faults three bloody times to hand it back at 12-all. Long, tense game and he breaks again ... and this time finally holds.

Final scoreline: Chiba d. Jung, 6-7(5), 7-6(0), 6-7(5), 6-2, 14-12! Exactly 400 points. 12 BP to 4, 59 return points won to 32. 47 combined aces. Should never have been this close. I need a sedative.
