Longest Three-sets Women's Match?

Question

I know that one of the longest match has to be those five-sets that took place at the finals of the Year-end Championships. But what are the longest women's match in three sets?

The match between Justine and Maria at Madrid was the 12th longest match, but it has been replaced recently with the match between Maria and Anabel Medina at Amelia Island (7-6, 5-7, 7-6) that ran for about 3 hours and 27 minutes.

Is that the longest women's three-set match, without counting the women's five set matches?

Answer 1

wasn't that venus williams vs. davenport final at wimbledon one of them? or is that just in wimbledon history?

Answer 2

Yes, it was in fact the longest three set women's match in history.  Maria has broken her own record, but this time came out on the winning end.  The match against Anabel Medina Garrigues has also tied the most number of games played for this year along with two other matches.  I believe that it was about 37/38 games.

I couldn't find what you were looking for but that was interesting ;)

Answer 4

I don't think that any of Sharapova's matches are the longest on the tour ever. V. Williams win over Davenport in the 2005 Wimbledon final was the longest match in Wimbledon final history for the women.
