Before the introduction of tie breaks, the longest match at Wimbledon was 112 games. This match has some way to go to beat that!

Edit: Reg has already eluded to it.

The ever-reliable wikipedia says

 Longest match: The Wimbledon 2010 first round match between Nicolas Mahut and John Isner (In Progress)- 32 all and still going, now longest match ever.

Ah, by time possibly. Not by number of games, yet.

From the BBC:

Ridiculous but record breaking as it becomes officially the longest tennis match in history when it goes past six hours and 34 minutes. A 'shock' graphic will have to do the job.
