Players who won 3 straight 5-setters in a same event

Agassi won 3 straight 5-setters at the 2005 US Open, and he won 6-2 set vs. Federer in the Final !
6-2 was in the 2nd Set, and then Agassi lost the 3rd Set in a tiebreaker.
No legs, and he still bossed Federer around

Wouldn't say no legs, but he was able to accomplish that thanks to his magnificent ballstriking ability.

Ok, but I heard Agassi needed cortisone shots before each match at 2005 US Open, and I saw video of the Ginepri-Agassi 5-setter and Agassi was slower than I've ever seen...
And in that 6-2 set vs. Federer it looked like Agassi was taking the ball even earlier than usual, so he didn't have to run much.

Which is why I gave credit to his ballstriking ability. Without it, he wouldn't have had the longevity that he ended up having and still staying competitive with ATG players like Nadal and Federer in 2005.

Well done, Carlos, you're the only famous name in the lot!

Even though Alcaraz is Draper's pigeon (Queens '24), I can see another 5-setter on Sunday.
