5 tennis records that would be nearly impossible to break

Martina Navratilova

4. Martina Navratilova - Longest match winning streak

All of us know that Martina Navratilova is a player who had a meritorious career which spanned almost three decades. That itself is a feat difficult to find in any sport.

Navratilova was selected as the greatest female tennis player for the period spanning from 1965 to 2005 by Tennis Magazine - ahead of Steffi Graf and Billie Jean King!

Hence it would not be surprising that she holds the record of the longest match winning streak in Open Era. She won 74 consecutive singles matches in 1984.

If this does not astound you, please note that her male counterpart is Bjorn Borg with the longest match winning streak being 49. A difference of 25 wins is a huge one indeed!

This record will to remain unbroken for a long time considering the immense amount of competition and the sheer number of new talents being injected into the sport on a regular basis.
