American Shelby Rogers

Shelby Rogers claimed a marathon win over Daria Gavrilova at the US Open as the duo played the longest recorded women's match in the tournament's history.

Rogers needed three hours and 33 minutes to get past the Australian 25th seed 7-6 (8-6) 4-6 7-6 (7-5) in their second-round clash at Flushing Meadows on Thursday.

The battle on Court 10 exceeded the previous record set in New York by 10 minutes.

Johanna Konta took three hours and 23 minutes to beat Garbine Muguruza in the second round in 2015.
