The shortest tennis match in history lasted just 57 seconds - Apparently.
On August 13, 1997, at the Wimbledon qualifying tournament, Australian player Steve Fleton defeated Belgium's Christophe Van Garsse in a match that lasted a mere 57 seconds. Fleton won 6-0, 6-0, with Van Garsse not even bothering to return serve on the first game of the second set. This bizarre record has been recognized by Guinness World Records and remains one of the most astonishing anomalies in tennis history.
