Good one, Tented. Can you think of a single game that was nearly as long as 27 minutes on a grass court, the way we saw unfold in the fifth game of set 3 ? Must be a record !

No, I don’t remember a single game lasting that long.

Wimbledon issued a separate video for it:

Only other one i can recall was in the 1995 women's final, S. Graf vs A. Sanchez-Vicario, with the match locked at one set all and 5-5 in the final set, the 11th game with Sanchez-Vicario serving was 20 minutes long, won by Graf. And baring in mind that this was in the era where the courts were faster and players were not taking time inbetween points.
