Another year and another Wimbledon record. Sitting courtside among the Wimbledon and HSBC banner, I recalled the previous years I've been coming here. To be fair, I was never an avid tennis fan but old age have made realise the simple (often very competitive) pleasures in Sunday tennis match with old (often new) friends. How did I get into it, you ask. Well, it was after going on a date with a tennis ball girl during the 2007 French Open. That's how! ACE!Longest Wimbledon game ever!! Nicolas Mahut and John Isner on June 22, 23, and 24, 2010. 183 games, 11 hours and 5 minutes of playing time.
Longest set by time and games - The 5th set of the match, 138 games played over 8 hours and 11 minutes.
Longest play in a single day - The first 118 games of the 5th set, 7 hours and 6 minutes.
Most games in a single day - 118
