MADRID — Even for Spain, it was late, which is saying something in a nocturnal nation where a 10 p.m. dinner is nothing unusual.

In fact, it was so late that you could argue it was early when the American doubles team of Jack Sock and Sam Querrey finally finished off the Italians Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini.

The last shot, a Querrey ace, came at 4:04 a.m. on Thursday.

“At least it was prime time in the United States,” Querrey said, seeing the lighter side of it all much later in the day.
