How Long Does A Tennis Match Take?

 How long a match lasts is difficult to answer. In fact, it depends on the tournament and whether it's a male or female match.

For Grand Slams especially, the winner of the men’s match is that the better of five sets. So, if the match wins the winner in three consecutive sets, it can end as soon as two hours.

Five sets during a match can last a mean of up to five hours.

This also depends on the many the games of every set.

The longest game within the history of tennis was at Wimbledon 2010, during which the American athlete John Isner faced the Frenchman, Nicolás Mahut.

The final score was: 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-3), 70-68

Having this lasting quite 11 hours.

Some tournaments also are played at the simplest of three sets, as I said before, so here the games are shorter.

The ladies matches are the simplest of three sets. These matches usually have a shorter duration. Average match time is a smaller amount than three hours. The longest game in women’s history was played in 1984 and lasted about 6.5 hours.

But the typical time of women’s matches isn't quite 2.5 hours.
