This article details longest tennis match records by duration or number of games. The 1973 introduction of the tiebreak reduced the opportunity for such records to be broken. However, among the Gren Slams, the US Open, Australian Open (since 2019) en Wimbledon (to be used starting from 2019) use the tiebreak in the final set, while the French Open remains the only Gren Slam to use the advantage set rules in the final set, which allows for an indefinite number of games until one player is ahead by two.
