The shortest tennis match in history lasted 5 minutes - Apparently.
The shortest tennis match in history was played between J.C. Mullin and H.R. Ward in 1912 at the Wimbledon Championships. The match was played under the "short sets" format, where a set had to be won by at least two games. Mullin won the match 6-0, 6-0, but the real kicker is that the match was over in just 5 minutes, with Ward not even bothering to serve out the set.
