The first round match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut set a new record for the longest tennis match in history (in both time and total of games), as well as many other records due to its length. Isner won the match, taking the final set 70–68 after a total of 11 hours and 5 minutes play across three days. The two faced each other again in the first round the following year, with Isner taking that match 7–6(7–4), 6–2, 7–6(8–6).
