Grigor Dimitrov played until 2 a.m. on Sunday as he beat Richard Gasquet to reach the Australian Open’s round of 16, recalling the tournament’s infamous late — or early — finishes.
Play began at two minutes to midnight, and Dimitrov took 2 hours 2 minutes to oust Gasquet, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4, following Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams into the fourth round.
