For both J Marray (GBR) and J Murray (GBR), it was the longest of Mondays in the men's doubles tournament.
That's Jonny Marray of Sheffield and Jamie Murray of Dunblane and now Wimbledon Village, who were both extended to lengthy five-setters in their third-round matches with their respective partners. There's only one vowel between their surnames, and their days were remarkably similar, too - one of them went through 14-12 in the final set and the other one almost did.
Marray managed it with his Canadian partner Adil Shamasdin when they defeated Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas and Spain's Marcel Granollers, while Murray and Brazilian Bruno Soares had a match point for the same fifth set scoreline - a little after 9pm, their encounter with Croatia's Mate Pavic and New Zealand's Michael Venus was suspended at 13-all because of bad light. Just eight more minutes of tennis when they resume on Tuesday and they will break the five-hour mark.
The unseeded pairing of Marray and Shamasdin, who had needed a wild card to pass through the gates this summer, needed more than four hours for their victory, making this Marray's deepest run into a Wimbledon draw since he won the 2012 title with Denmark's Frederik Nielsen.
While the first two rounds had been shortened from best-of-five-sets matches to best-of-three, because of the rain, this third round was a long-form doubles affair, with a scoreline of 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 3-6, 14-12.
They will next play Treat Huey of the Philippines and Max Mirnyi, who is known in doubles circles as 'The Beast from Belarus'.
Murray, meanwhile, is playing Wimbledon for the first time since becoming a world No.1, and also for the first time as a Grand Slam champion, after the Scot and Soares won this year's Australian Open. But they certainly didn't have everything their own way against Pavic and Venus.
The Canadian-American pairing of Vasek Pospisil and Jack Sock, who won this title as a scratch pairing in 2014, won their second-round match against the Australian team of Lleyton Hewitt and Jordan Thompson. That was a round after Hewitt and Thompson had saved eight match points.
The all-French team of Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut, who are the top seeds, came through their second-round match with ease when they defeated France's Stephane Robert and Israel's Dudi Sela for the loss of just four games (that was a best-of-three-set match).
Czech Radek Stepanek and Serbian Nenad Zimonjic defeated the all-Serbian combination of Dusan Lajovic and Viktor Troicki and will now play Bob and Mike Bryan, the former champions and second seeds from the United States.
