In 2010 John Isner and Nicolas Mahut played the longest match in the history of Wimbledon Championships. It took 11 hours and 5 minutes in three days. The last match was 70-68, the most extreme endurance match in tennis. This match subsequently helped in the amendments of rules such as final-set tiebreaks in order to avoid such protracted matches in subsequent tournaments.
