'''Marcelo Filippini''' (born 4 August 1967) is a former professional [[tennis]] player from [[Uruguay]].

In 1996, Filippini played what was longest known game in [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP Tour]] history at [[Grand Prix Hassan II|Casablanca]], going to deuce 20 times with [[Alberto Berasategui]] in one game of a 6–2, 6–3 first round loss. The game lasted 28 minutes (24–22 in total points for Berasategui).

Filippini's best performance at a [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] event came at the French Open in 1999, where he reached (as a qualifier without dropping a set) the quarterfinals, defeating [[Laurence Tieleman]], [[Martin Damm]], [[Vince Spadea]] and [[Greg Rusedski]] before being knocked-out by eventual champion [[Andre Agassi]]. He also reached the quarterfinals of the [[1993 Italian Open – Men's singles|1993 Rome Masters]].
