Brilliant from Jo in those last two games- didn't do a whole lot wrong to get broken apart from missing first serves and she really put the pressure on Muguruza on the set points.

Jo unlucky in what was virtually a mirror image of the first set. This will be close to the US Open longest match record as I can't see either player going quietly in the 3rd set.

I watched the point at 5-3 back and the call was a good second after Jo hit the return so the umpire made the right call.

Over two and a half hours, exhausting stuff !

Maybe indeed for the players too

C'mon Jo Konta, you star.

Wikipedia has 3hrs 16 mins as the longest Women's US Open match (Stosur v Petrova in 2011)

Edit: apparently Brengle v Zheng was 3hrs 20 earlier this week

First time either player has opened up any sort of daylight in a set score as Jo leads *3-0.

Still feels like a fair bit of tennis left in this though.
