The shortest recorded tennis match lasted only 20 minutes - Apparently.
In 1922, British tennis player Gladys Eastwell played against Mrs. Marjory Stork at the Wimbledon Championships. The match was interrupted by rain and was eventually abandoned after just 20 minutes, with Mrs. Stork leading 5-0. This bizarre record still stands today, making it the shortest recorded tennis match in history. The unusual duration is attributed to the inclement weather, which forced the umpire to abandon the match due to safety concerns.
