Probably the longest rally in the entire Australian Open thus far was between two Frenchmen, Gilles Simon and Gael Monfils. It lasted 71 shots! Simon won this rally and the match in five sets.

Both of them had injury issues in this match and by the end of it, they were just willing themselves on. While this rally itself wasn't totally exciting for the most part, the match, or at least the fifth set, was. It's too bad Simon had to run into an in-form Andy Murray in the fourth round as he has now been booted out of the competition.
