"In 1980, Borg won the longest-ever Wimbledon singles final to that time, 3 hours and 53 minutes (the record stood until 1982). That year, he also lost the longest-ever U.S. Open final to that time, 4 hours and 13 minutes (the record stood until 1988)." from http://www.all-about-tennis.com/bjorn-borg.html. Federer and Nadal's match in the Australian Open 2009 Finals was 4 hours and 23 minutes. On July 5, 2009, the Federer vs. Roddick final was the highest Singles Men's Final Score: 5-7, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5), 3-6, 16-14 The match lasted 4 hours 18 minutes.

Note: At Wimbledon, there is NO TIE BREAK in the 5th set. Therefore play must continue until one player has a 2 game margin of victory.

The longest tennis set in history started Tuesday, June 22 and ended Thursday, June 24 at Wimbledon in 2010. John Isner of the USA beat Nicolas Mahut of France, 70-68, after a record-breaking 11-hour, 5-minute match. The match had to be postponed two nights when the sun went down and the players were still tied.
