Centre Court was witness to an all-time classic as 5th seed Juan Martin Del Potro faced off against second seed and 2-time Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal.

The match was a five-hour marathon of pure emotion from two players who are experts in conveying it, and it concluded with Nadal jumping over the net and walking over to Del Potro, who got back on his feet only when Nadal came close by. They immediately hugged and it was a poignant moment as the crowd gave them a deserved standing ovation.

Andy Murray, who was making his debut as a commentator for BBC was in complete awe of their performance. “This fifth set is one of the best sets of tennis I've ever seen live,” said Murray at one point during the decider. Tributes kept pouring in as World Number 1 Simona Halep tweeted that it was possibly the best ever match that she has ever witnessed.

The pair combined for a total of 144 winners with Del Potro producing some incredible diving volleys.
