The shortest set was 29 minutes & the final set was 491 minutes (over 8 hours)!!! These stats are NUTS!!!
Since I don't go to Wimbledon anymore, here's my shot of 6'9" John Isner from the 2009 US Open that ran in Sports Illustrated.

Tennis History
Today was the end of the longest match in tennis history. It lasted 3 days (11 hours & 5 minutes) & I don't think this record will ever be broken. John Isner (USA) defeated Nicolas Mahut (FRA) 6-4, 3-6, 6-7, 7-6, 70-68. Wimbledon doesn't have a tiebreaker in the final set & you have to win by 2 games. There were 138 games in the last set ... that's CRAZY!
