TENNIS MATCH OF

86 GAMES.

An extraordinary match of 80 games took place in the first round of the men's doubles at Wimbledon, whon H. Denker and H. Henkel (Germany) beat L. de Borman and A. Lacroix (Belgium), 16-14, 7-5, 4-6, 5-7, 12-10. I is the longest match in the championships for at least 25 years, but whether or not it is an absolute record, cannot be verified.
