Whats the longest ever rally in pro tennis?

Question

just wondering

Answer 1

I think that the 643 hits by Nelson-Hepner in Oct. 1984 is the real record, although Peterson-Miller did 17,062 hits in what I think was just a flat out attempt to set a record, and not a real match.

Answer 2

I think it was between Hewitt and Federer with 46.

Answer 4

I got this from yahoo answers when the question was posted a while back.

A quick search of the web gives the following information:

The longest tennis rally in history is a new Guinness world record by Rob Peterson and Ray Miller of the USA. The two rallyed 17,062 non-stop in 9hrs 7 min during a US Tennis association event. Please see www.americantennispro.com.

Prior to that the longest rally in tournament play was one of 643 times over the net between Vicky Nelson and Jean Hepner at Richmond, VA in October 1984. According to tennislovers.com the match lasted 6 hr 22 minutes and was won by Nelson 6-4, 7-6. It concluded with a 1 hr 47 min tiebreak, 13-11, for which one point took 29 minutes.

Will Duggan and Ron Kapp (both USA) performed a rally of 6,202 strokes, which took 3 hr 33 min, at Santa Barbara Municipal Stadium, CA on 12 March 1988. (Presumably that wasn't in a tournament.)
