| #1 Longest session, not longest match. The longest match was back before the invention of the tiebreaker. At the 2010 Wimbledon Championships John Isner (left) defeated Nicolas Mahut (right) 6-4, 3-6, 6-7(7), 7-6(3), 70-68 in the world's longest tennis match. The match lasted 11 hours, 5 minutes. |
