Four hours and 43 minutes for Djokovic/Del Potro; two hours 50 minutes for Murray/Janowicz (plus 30 minutes for roof closing). It's a long time to watch telly.
I'm not concerned about the players who are young and fit enough to cope. Nor for the spectators who, having paid the £600 or whatever, are looking for value for money (or special means of delaying calls of nature).
No, it is viewers like me who lack the powers of concentration. Inevitably, I have to go walkabout at some point during the second set - a bit of ironing perhaps or a nice nap - before re-joining the match at the end of the third set. Maybe I'm getting old ...
