00:00Think of a six-hour Rimbledon final or a seven-hour match.
00:04We have had matches like that, right?
00:06The loser, believe me, does not really regret that match.
00:11I have read of champions, Grand Slam champions,
00:14who when asked about their most unforgettable match,
00:18would not talk about one of their Grand Slam finals or semi-finals.
00:22They would talk about one match that they fought and lost.
00:27That is one match that they cannot forget.
00:30That is one match that brought life to them as never before.
00:34Because that was the thing that drained everything out of them.
00:39And finally, when the winning shot was plait,
00:43neither side could differentiate between victory and defeat.
00:46As a spectator, you would mind who held the trophy.
00:51But ask them who have just played a five-setter that extended up to six hours, seven hours.
00:56Ask them and they'll say,
00:58Well, this is my most unforgettable match.
01:00I do not remember who won and who lost.
01:03That is something I won't remember.
01:04And the match I cannot forget.
