The shortest tennis match in history lasted just 5 minutes - Apparently.
In 1922, British tennis player Bill Tilden defeated Australian player Frank Riseley in a Wimbledon match that lasted a mere 5 minutes. The match was so one-sided that Riseley did not even serve a single point before Tilden won. This brief encounter is still recognized by the Guinness World Records as the shortest tennis match in history. The match's brevity was largely due to Riseley's inability to hold his serve, with Tilden winning the first game 6-0.
