Oddities

Couillard played the unofficially longest tie-break in tennis history. In qualifying for a future tournament in Plantation , Florida , he played against his compatriot Benjamin Balleret , when the first set could only be decided after 70 points (36:34 for Balleret). The second set went 6-1 to Balleret. However, since no chair umpires monitor the game in the lowest ranking tournaments in the qualification and the players themselves count the points, the record is not officially recognized by the ITF , although everyone present confirmed the result.
