For comparison that would be like if Felix was playing Zverev.

this is also the anniversary of me reminding you that this is actually the worst tennis match of all time lol
actually, nah. at least it finished the right way, without the stupid servebot-induced 5th set tiebreaker that 2019 fell into. I wonder how this 2008 match would have played out without the rain delays.
