Towering Sunday

Dear teachers,

Nadal-Federer final at Wmbledon last year.

"As dusk crept oer England, it seemed as if the match would have to be suspended for darkness. A cruel, truncated joke of a Monday after this towering Sunday."

1. Could I know if "towering Sunday" in this content mean "the match stretched across an entire Sunday carrying forward into Monday."?

2. Could you help me make corrections on "The match stretched across an entire Sunday carrying forward into Monday."? I'd like to make sure this question I asked is gramatically correct. Thank you.

Regards,

Tinanam

The final Monday part of the match would be anticlimatic.
