Bassa Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 As you probably know all tennis matches are played to best of five sets, tie break at the end of the first 4 sets and until a player wins by two clear points in the fifth. The current world record for the longest amount of games in the fifth set is 19 - 17. The match between Isnar of the Usa and a guy called Mahut have been playing there match for about 11 hours so far. The score in the fifth set is 67 - 67. This really is the best tennis match ever. There have been over 100 aces for each player. Here is the link to the match live. ------> http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlive/bbc_one_london/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
