It took Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori nearly two hours to get through the first round of the men’s doubles at Wimbledon.
The two Italians beat Uruguayan Ariel Behar and Belgium’s Joran Vliegen in two sets both finished in tie-breaks.
There was no break throughout the match, and the only ones who had to save break points were Behar and Vlegen, three in the first and one in the fifth game of the first set.
The two tie-breaks ended 7-5 and 7-3 in favor of Bolelli and Vavassori, who are No. 7 seed on the draw and together have never gone beyond the second round on Church Road grass.
