Tennis, like many other sports is not time bound. In order to win, you need to win a specified number of sets irrespective of the time. Most matches hover around the 2-3 hour mark. Some matches rarely stretch to 4 hours or beyond. One can only imagine the physical and mental stress the players go through in these kind of marathon matches. More often than not, these matches become less about shot-making and skills, and more about the players’ durability. The one who emerges victorious pushes himself a little harder. Such matches are truly inspirational, especially for young and aspiring tennis players. It gives them the motivation to excel and work harder, never knowing what might be enough.

John Isner def. Nicolas Mahut, Wimbledon 2010 (11h 5m)
This unusual first round match-up in Wimbledon has gone down as the longest tennis matches ever in the history of the game. This epic clash has been immortalized at Wimbledon itself, with a plaque commemorating the three-day struggle.
It was the perfect combination. Isner, with his large, lumbering serve and Mahut, with his quick return game, making them polar opposites to each other. One’s weakness was the other’s strength.

After lasting two days, everybody stopped to see when, and if, the match would ever end. After three days’ worth of Grand Slam tennis, Isner collapsed on the ground, all energy drained out from his body. He had just won the longest tennis match of all time, 70-68, in the fifth set. Even though the scoreboard showed Isner as the winner, it would be unfair to say that Mahut lost in this superhuman match, which has certainly pushed the boundaries of physical stamina and grit.
