Longest-ever Tennis Match
After 11 hours and five absorbing minutes on court, John Isner wrote his name into the record books as the winner of the sport’s longest ever battle when the giant American finally clinched the epic three-day, 183-game thriller 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-3), 70-68.
It was the longest tennis match ever (11 hours and 5 minutes), the most games played in a match (183), the most games played in a set (138), and the highest number of aces in a match: 215 (Isner: 112, Mahut: 103).
