The second longest match belongs to Marin Cilic and Sam Querrey, lasting 5 hours and 30 minutes. Approximately half of the longest match, but a massive battle nonetheless.
The third longest match is in the Men’s Doubles category, belonging to John McEnroe and Michael Stich versus Jim Grabb and Richey Reneberg. This match took place in 1992, with a total number of 83 games, lasting 5 hours and 1 minute.
