The shortest tennis match in history lasted just 20 minutes - Apparently.
In 1922, a Davis Cup match between Britain and the United States saw the shortest recorded tennis match. The match was between American player Bill Tilden and British player James Anderson, but it was abandoned after just 20 minutes, with Tilden leading 6-0, 6-1. The match was halted due to a back injury suffered by Anderson, and the result was recorded as a win for Tilden, though the exact duration of play was not official until 2010, when the records were formally recognized by the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
