September 8, 1984, at the US Open, referred to as "Super Saturday", is largely considered the single greatest day in tennis history. Each of the four matches played went to the maximum number of sets, and all eight players would win at least one Grand Slam title. From opening serve at 11:07 am to match point of the final set at 11:16 pm, there were 16 sets, 165 games, and 979 points. Among the matches played, Martina Navratilova would capture her second US Open title, and John McEnroe beat Jimmy Connors in the semifinals en route to what would be his last singles Grand Slam title of his career.
