Longest Tennis Match in History

Tennis: longest match in history -Wimbledon 2010. Even the term marathon fails to depict just how excruciatingly long the 2010 Wimbledon match between American John Isner (above) and French qualifier Nicolas Mahut was. In total, the match took 11 hours and 5 minutes of play over three days, with a final score of 6–4, 3–6, 6–7, 7–6, 70–68 for a total of 183 games. It is by far the longest match in tennis history. The final set alone was longer than the previous longest match. The rules have since been changed so it can never be beaten.
