Australian legend Margaret Court Smith needed seven match points to see off the longest women's Wimbledon final in history in terms of games played. And it lasted only two sets.

Court's 14-12, 11-9 victory over Billie Jean King in the final of the 1970 Wimbledon Championships was an all-time classic. Both the players weren't 100% fit going into the match and both had niggles. Court had ankle issues and King had a Knee injury.

King saved the first match point that she faced at 6-7 in the second set, and then again at 9-10, she saved two more match points after trailing 15-40. On her seventh match point, Court finally took home the Venus Rose Water Dish in the match's 46th game. No other Wimbledon women's final match has since surpassed this figure.
