I don't watch too much tennis-only every now and again, but this is one EPIC match.

I like how the official scoreboard broke after thwy both went up to 47 games. And that commentator from the bbc was covering his first match, 10 hours without a peebreak just incase someone won.
Happy to be here.

63 all for those of you interested, and the scoreboard actually has the correct score

I was watching the football and switched over at half time. I saw the score and thought something was fucked!! Couldn't stop watching after that.

Awesome stamina and mental ability. They were saying they will write one more tennis world record book then stop. The 6 records they broke will probably never be beat!

Records that fell

* There were unconfirmed suggestions from the International Tennis Federation that this is the "longest official tennis match in history".

* It is definitely the longest Grand Slam match, surpassing the previous record of six hours and 33 minutes at the 2004 French Open (Fabrice Santoro bt Arnaud Clement).

* According to the BBC, the fifth set is the longest ever to have been played in a tennis match.

* It has seen the most number of games ever played in a match, beating the previous highest of 112 (singles) and 122 (doubles).

* It is the longest match at Wimbledon, beating six hours and nine minutes, set in the 2006 men's doubles quarter-finals.

* It has featured the longest set at Wimbledon. The previous longest was 62 games, set in a men's doubles match in 1968.

* It has seen the record number of aces served in a match at Wimbledon, with both players beating Ivo Karlovic's 51 in 2005.
