The shortest tennis match in history lasted just 5 minutes - Apparently.
In 1922, British tennis player Violet Chamberlain defeated her opponent, Mrs. F. M. Steed, in a Wimbledon match that lasted a mere 5 minutes. The match was so one-sided that Chamberlain didn't even bother to change her shoes between games. This brief contest remains the shortest in tennis history, as verified by the Wimbledon archives and tennis historians. The match's brevity was a result of Chamberlain's dominant play, which saw her win the first game and go on to take the match in just five minutes flat.
