John Isner beat Frenchman Nicolas Mahut over three days and more than 11 hours playing time on an outside court at Wimbledon, triumphing 70-68 in the final set.

The first-round match took 11 hours, 5 minutes over three days, lasting so long it was suspended because of darkness — two nights in a row. Play resumed Thursday at 59-all and continued for more than an hour before Isner won 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7), 7-6 (3), 70-68.

The American finished with 112 aces, and Mahut had 103, with both totals eclipsing the previous high of 78. There were only three service breaks in the match, the last coming on the final point.



With Mahut serving at 68-69, Isner hit a forehand winner for the first break-point chance of the day. Then he cracked the backhand winner for the victory — only the third service break of the match, and the only one in the fifth set, which lasted 8 hours, 11 minutes.

Isner won a match that was by far the longest in the history of sport in terms of games or time. The previous longest game took 6 hours, 33 minutes in 2004 the French Open.
