=== 2014: Career-high singles ranking ===
After quite a successful 2013 season, especially in singles, Mahut didn't enjoy much success in 2014. For the majority of the year in singles, Mahut did not need to play through qualifying to advance to the main draw thanks to the good results he compiled from 2013, but only won 38% of the tour-level matches he played. He failed to advance past the first round in every Grand Slam, which was the first time in his career. Mahut did not reach a tour-level semifinals throughout the entire season. During the season Mahut reached 3 tour-level quarterfinals as well as two Challenger finals.

However, Mahut enjoyed success in doubles. He reached the semifinals of [[2014 Brisbane International – Men's doubles|Brisbane]] partnering [[Roger Federer]] to start off the season. The following week Mahut and Llodra lost in the first round at [[2014 Apia International Sydney – Men's doubles|Sydney]] in the deciding tiebreak. The week after at the [[2014 Australian Open – Men's doubles|Australian Open]], Mahut and Llodra were seeded 13th and reached the semifinals for the first time in his career without dropping a set, including wins against 2nd seeds [[Alexander Peya]] and [[Bruno Soares]] in the 3rd round and 5th seeds [[Leander Paes]] and [[Radek Štěpánek]] in the quarterfinals. Mahut then participated at [[2014 Open Sud de France – Doubles|Montepeiller]] partnering [[Marc Gicquel]], where they reached the final without dropping a set, losing in 3 sets to another unseeded pair [[Nikolay Davydenko]] and [[Denis Istomin]]. Mahut's good form continued into next week, where he participated in [[2014 ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament – Doubles|Rotterdam]] with Llodra, and won the tournament while only dropping a set. Mahut then reached the quarterfinals of the [[2014 BNP Paribas Open – Men's doubles|Indian Wells Masters]] partnering [[Jo-Wilfried Tsonga]], losing to world No. 1s the [[The Bryan brothers|Bryan brothers]] in 2 tiebreaks. The next week at the [[2014 Sony Open Tennis – Men's doubles|Miami Masters]], Mahut and Llodra reached the semifinals, again they were defeated by the Bryan Brothers, also in straight sets.

Mahut then lost 4 consecutive matches before the [[2014 French Open – Men's doubles|French Open]]. At the French Open, Mahut and Llodra were seeded 5th, but were forced to retire during the third round after only playing 3 games. The next week, Mahut and Tsonga fell in the first round of the Queen's Club, after winning the first set in a tiebreaker and losing the second set in another tiebreak, and lost 12–14 in the decider tiebreak. At [[2014 Wimbledon Championships – Men's doubles|Wimbledon]], he and Llodra were seeded 12th, and reached the semifinals for the first time in his career while only dropping one set en route, and was once more denied by the Bryan Brothers, also in straight sets. The week after Wimbledon, he partnered [[Sergiy Stakhovsky]] at the [[2014 Hall of Fame Tennis Championships – Doubles|Hall of Fame Tennis Championships]], and reached the semifinals where they were defeated in straight sets.

For the remainder of the season Mahut failed to win consecutive tour-level doubles matches, but won 2 Challengers near the end of the season, at Mons, Belgium, partnering Gicquel, without dropping a set in the process, and at Mouilleron Le Captif, France, partnering [[Pierre-Hugues Herbert]] and did not drop a set en route either. It was also his last tournament of the year during the last week of the regular season.

===2015: US Open doubles champion===
At the [[2015 Australian Open|Australian Open]], Mahut participated in both singles and doubles draw. He fell in the first round of qualifying in [[2015 Australian Open – Men's singles|singles]], but battled his way to his second appearance in a Grand Slam men's doubles final. Mahut and Herbert, unseeded, lost the final against the unseeded Italians [[Simone Bolelli]] and [[Fabio Fognini]]. However, this marked the beginning of one of the most successful doubles pair in tennis.
[[File:Nicolas Mahut-T1-RG2015.jpg|left|thumb|250x250px|Mahut at the [[2015 French Open]].]]
Mahut then played a few qualifying matches for singles but failed to win any tour-level matches after qualifying for the main draw. He also competed in a few Challengers in both singles and doubles. He won the St. Brieuc Challenger in singles during this time, defeating [[Yūichi Sugita]] in the final.

Mahut then participated at the [[2015 French Open|French Open]], in both singles and doubles. In [[2015 French Open – Men's singles|singles]], Mahut was given a [[wild card (sports)|wild card]], and defeated the 24th seed Latvian [[Ernests Gulbis]] in the second round but lost to the 12th seed countryman [[Gilles Simon]] in the third round in 5 sets, after leading 2 sets to 1. In [[2015 French Open – Men's doubles|doubles]], he and Herbert were seeded 14th, and reached the third round where they lost to 2nd seeds [[Vasek Pospisil]] and [[Jack Sock]] in 2 tiebreaks.

The week after, he competed in the [[2015 Topshelf Open|Topshelf Open]], during the first week of the grass season, in both singles and doubles. In [[2015 Topshelf Open – Men's singles|singles]], which he needed to qualify, Mahut won 3 consecutive qualifying matches to advance to the main draw. From there on, he defeated [[Lleyton Hewitt]], 3rd seed and defending champion [[Roberto Bautista Agut]], 6th seed [[Adrian Mannarino]], wildcard [[Robin Haase]], and 2nd seed [[David Goffin]] in the final to win his third ATP Tour singles title of his career, all of them on grass. In [[2015 Topshelf Open – Men's doubles|doubles]], he and Herbert defeated 2nd seeds Daniel Nestor and Leander Paes in the quarterfinals and 3rd seeds Jamie Murray and John Peers both in straight sets before losing in the final.
[[File:Mahut QC15 (6) (20108992489).jpg|thumb|188x188px|Mahut at the [[2015 Aegon Championships – Doubles|2015 Queen's Club]].]]
Mahut then participated in [[2015 Aegon Championships|Queen's Club]], in the [[2015 Aegon Championships – Doubles|doubles]] draw. He and Herbert were seeded 4th, and won the title without dropping a set, defeating 1st seeds Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares in the semifinals and 2nd seeds [[Marcin Matkowski]] and [[Nenad Zimonjić]] in the final.

At Wimbledon, Mahut participated in both singles and doubles draw. In singles, Mahut opened against [[Filip Krajinović]] and won in 4 sets. In the second round he lost to 6th seed [[Tomáš Berdych]] in straight sets. In doubles, Mahut and Herbert were seeded 10th and reached the third round before Matkowski and Zimonjić avenged the loss earlier during the grass season.

After several uneventful weeks, where Mahut failed to win any tour-level matches in singles and only won 1 in doubles, Mahut competed in both singles and doubles at the [[2015 US Open (tennis)|US Open]]. In [[2015 US Open – Men's singles|singles]], he defeated American world No. 38 [[Sam Querrey]] in tight straight sets and lost the next round to 31st seed, Spaniard [[Guillermo García López]] in 4 sets. In [[2015 US Open – Men's doubles|doubles]], Mahut and Herbert, seeded 12th, won the men's doubles title with a straight sets win over 8th seeds [[Jamie Murray]] and [[John Peers]] in the final while only dropping a tiebreaker en route to the title. They thus became the first all-French pair to win the [[List of US Open men's doubles champions|men's doubles title at the US Open]] and their US Open victory marked the sixth time that an all-French pair had won a Grand Slam men's doubles title in the [[Open Era]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/news/herbert-mahut-win-us-open-doubles|title=Herbert/Mahut Win Doubles Crown|date=12 September 2015|work=ATP Tour official website}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Tennis/Actualites/Us-open-double-nicolas-mahut-et-pierre-hugues-herbert-s-imposent-en-finale/589869|title=Nicolas Mahut et Pierre-Hugues Herbert s'imposent en finale|date=12 September 2015|work=L'Équipe}}</ref>

The next week Mahut participated at the [[2015 Moselle Open – Doubles|Moselle Open]], in singles and doubles. In [[2015 Moselle Open – Singles|singles]], Mahut reached the quarterfinals with a 3 set win over 7th seed and countryman Mannarino en route, where he was defeated by another countryman, 3rd seed, and eventual champion [[Jo-Wilfried Tsonga]]. In [[2015 Moselle Open – Doubles|doubles]], he and Herbert were seeded 1st, and reached the finals where they lost to 2nd seeds [[Łukasz Kubot]] and [[Édouard Roger-Vasselin]] in 3 sets.

Mahut did not win a singles tour-level match for the remainder of the season.

Mahut and Herbert also qualified for the prestigious [[2015 ATP World Tour Finals – Doubles|ATP World Tour Finals]] for the first time for both men, and were seeded 6th, but failed to advance past round robin stage after winning 1 of the 3 round robin matches.

===2016: Wimbledon doubles title and doubles world No. 1===
During the first few months of 2016, Mahut did one of his best performances in the start of the year. Reaching the quarterfinals in Sydney singles draws and Semis in Rotterdam, he enjoyed success in doubles. He won a doubles title in February 2016 in [[2016 ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament – Doubles|Rotterdam]], an [[ATP World Tour 500 series|ATP World Tour 500]] event, partnering [[Vasek Pospisil]] (and held 3 match points in the semifinal against eventual champion [[Martin Kližan]] in the singles draw, on what would have been his first tour-level final on hard court and his first final at an ATP World Tour 500 event), defeating [[Alexander Peya]] and [[Philipp Petzschner]] in the final. He and [[Pierre-Hugues Herbert]] then won the first three [[ATP World Tour Masters 1000]] of the year: in [[2016 BNP Paribas Open – Men's doubles|Indian Wells]], where he and Herbert defeated Pospisil and [[Jack Sock]] in straight sets in the final; in [[2016 Miami Open – Men's doubles|Miami]], where he and Herbert defeated [[Raven Klaasen]] and [[Rajeev Ram]] in the final; and [[2016 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters – Doubles|Monte Carlo]], where he and Herbert defeated world No. 1 [[Jamie Murray]] and [[Bruno Soares]] in the final. By then, Mahut had won 17 consecutive matches in doubles (not including walkovers) which dated back to mid-February to Rotterdam. Unlike his ATP Tour singles titles, these came on hard and clay courts. He extended the streak to 19 when he reached the semifinals at the fourth Masters 1000 of the year at [[2016 Mutua Madrid Open – Men's doubles|Madrid]] in May, succumbing to 3rd seeds, the No. 1 doubles team of 2015, and eventual champions [[Jean-Julien Rojer]] and [[Horia Tecău]]. 
[[File:Mahut RG16 (2) (27331778371).jpg|left|thumb|300x300px|Mahut at the [[2016 French Open]].]]
At the [[2016 French Open|French Open]], in [[2016 French Open – Men's singles|singles]], unseeded Mahut defeated Lithuanian [[Ričardas Berankis]] in straight sets in the first round and reached the second round where he retired to Spaniard [[Marcel Granollers]] in the third set after trailing 0–2 in sets. In [[2016 French Open – Men's doubles|doubles]], Mahut was seeded 1st in men's doubles in a Grand Slam event for the first time in his career. However, he and Herbert were upset in the third round by 15th seeds and eventual champions [[Feliciano López]] and [[Marc López]]. Despite the loss, on 6 June, Mahut became the 49th player and only the second Frenchman (the first was [[Yannick Noah]], who held the No. 1 doubles ranking for a total of 19 weeks in 1986 and 1987) in history to be ranked No. 1 in the [[List of ATP number 1 ranked doubles players|ATP Doubles Rankings]]. He held it for a week before losing it.

Mahut had an outstanding grass season, winning all tournaments he entered in either singles or doubles draw. By the end of the first week, on 13 June, Mahut already clinched his fourth ATP Tour singles title by successfully defending the [[Rosmalen Grass Court Championships]] singles title, and won it for a record-tying third time in men's singles, defeating Luxembourgian [[Gilles Müller]] in straight sets in the final.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/news/mahut-muller-den-bosch-2016-final-monday|title=Mahut Wins Third 's-Hertogenbosch Crown|date=13 June 2016|work=ATP Tour official website}}</ref> Mahut then participated in [[2016 Aegon Championships|Queen's Club Championships]] in the second week, where he faced defending champion and world No. 2 [[Andy Murray]] in the opening round, and came close to repeating the success of 2012 by taking Murray to 2 tight tiebreaks, however he was unable to produce the same upset again. Despite the setback in singles, however, in the doubles draw, he and Herbert successfully defended the title while only dropping a tiebreak in the process, defeating Australian [[Chris Guccione (tennis)|Chris Guccione]] and Brazilian [[André Sá]] in straight sets in the final, which was Mahut's 5th doubles title of the year. As a result, Mahut became the first, and the only player to date, to defend a title in both singles and doubles on the [[ATP World Tour]] since the new format started in 2009.
[[File:Nicolas Mahut & Pierre-Hugues Herbert (28051419812).jpg|thumb|293x293px|Mahut (left) and Herbert at the [[2016 Wimbledon Championships – Men's doubles|2016 Wimbledon Championships]]]]
Mahut then competed at the [[2016 Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon Championships]]. In the [[2016 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles|singles]] draw, he defeated [[Brydan Klein]] in the first round in straight sets. He then upset 13th seed [[David Ferrer]] in the second round also in straight sets. In the third round he defeated his doubles partner [[Pierre-Hugues Herbert]] in four sets to advance to the singles fourth round of a Grand Slam event for the first time in his career. In the fourth round, he lost in straight sets to the 28th seed, [[Sam Querrey]], who had unexpectedly defeated world No. 1 and top seed [[Novak Djokovic]] in the third round. In the [[2016 Wimbledon Championships – Men's doubles|doubles]] draw, again seeded 1st, he and Herbert fought their way to the final with a few tough matches en route, setting up a clash with unseeded pair of countrymen and friends [[Julien Benneteau]] and [[Édouard Roger-Vasselin]], which is also the first ever all-French final in the history of Wimbledon. By reaching the final, Mahut has reached the men's doubles final of all four Grand Slams. He and Herbert defeated them in straight sets to win their 2nd Grand Slam men's doubles title. He also regained the No. 1 spot in doubles. He also tied with [[Novak Djokovic]] for most titles on the 2016 ATP Tour (7) to date with singles and doubles title combined, a feat Murray would later catch up to. He and Herbert also became the first pair to qualify for [[2016 ATP World Tour Finals – Doubles|ATP World Tour Finals]] following results from Wimbledon. By then, Mahut and Herbert won another 10 consecutive doubles match that dates back to the Queen's Club championships, and extended it to 11 when they won their [[2016 Davis Cup World Group|Davis Cup World Group]] quarterfinals rubber against [[Czech Republic Davis Cup team|Czech Republic]]. France eventually won 3–1. However, the streak came to a stop when they entered the [[Tennis at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Men's doubles|Rio Olympics]] representing France and was taken out in the first round by unseeded Colombians [[Juan Sebastián Cabal]] and [[Robert Farah (tennis)|Robert Farah]]. Mahut later commented the result at Rio as "a failure, fiasco, and disaster".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tennisworldusa.org/news/news/Tennis_Interviews/35645/nicolas-mahut-the-olympics-were-a-failure-fiasco-a-disaster-/|title=Nicolas Mahut: 'The Olympics were a failure, fiasco, a disaster'|website=www.tennisworldusa.org|date=27 August 2016 |access-date=16 October 2016}}</ref>

After mediocre results in both singles and doubles at the [[2016 Western & Southern Open|Cincinnati Masters]], the tournament he participated after the Olympics, Mahut competed in both singles and doubles draw at the [[2016 US Open (tennis)|US Open]]. In [[2016 US Open – Men's singles|singles]], Mahut was unseeded and defeated [[Philipp Kohlschreiber|Philip Kolschreiber]] after winning the first 2 sets and Kolschreiber retired in the first round, and then he came up with another straight set victory against close friend and countryman [[Paul-Henri Mathieu]]. By reaching the third round, Mahut has now reached third round or better on all four Grand Slams in singles. It also marked the first time in his career that he participated in all four Grand Slams in singles without at least one first round exit. In the third round, he faced 6th seed Kei Nishikori and was off to a great start winning the first set, and had a lot more break point chances after the first set than Nishikori, but failed to convert any of them and lost the match while only winning 5 games in the last three sets. In [[2016 US Open – Men's doubles|doubles]], as the defending champions, Mahut and Herbert was seeded 1st, and reached the semifinals for the second consecutive year and only dropped a set en route to set up a rematch of this year's Monte-Carlo Masters final against 4th seeds [[Jamie Murray]] and [[Bruno Soares]], which they lost in 3 tight sets. Murray and Soares went on to win the tournament.

The week after US Open, Mahut participated in the Davis Cup World Group semifinals against [[Croatia Davis Cup team|Croatia]]. Mahut and Herbert teamed up for the doubles rubber, but were upset by [[Marin Čilić]] and [[Ivan Dodig]] in 4 closely contested sets. France went on to lose the tie by a margin of a match, 2–3. Mahut was then out of action for 4 weeks, including skipping the [[2016 Shanghai Rolex Masters|Shanghai Masters]], where [[Bruno Soares]] was a match away from overtaking Mahut as the new world No. 1 in doubles. Had Soares won the match, he would have become the 50th player in history to be ranked No. 1 in the ATP Doubles Rankings. Mahut came back to play the inaugural [[2016 European Open|European Open]] at Antwerp, Belgium, again in both singles and doubles draws. In [[2016 European Open – Singles|singles]], Mahut was seeded 7th, but was upset by unseeded eventual runner-up Argentine [[Diego Schwartzman]] in 2 tight sets in the first round. In [[2016 European Open – Doubles|doubles]], seeded 1st, Mahut and Herbert reached the final, including a revenge against Schwartzman in the quarterfinals where he dropped the only set en route, in which they were taken out by 2nd seeds, Canadian [[Daniel Nestor]] and Frenchman [[Édouard Roger-Vasselin]] in straight sets. This marked Mahut's first loss in an ATP tour-level final, singles and doubles combined, in 2016.

Mahut then participated in the [[2016 Swiss Indoors|Swiss Indoors]], another ATP World Tour 500 event, where he participated in both singles and doubles draw. In [[2016 Swiss Indoors – Singles|singles]], he was unseeded and was defeated in the opening round by unseeded Italian [[Paolo Lorenzi]]. In [[2016 Swiss Indoors – Doubles|doubles]], he partnered Roger-Vasselin since Herbert did not compete this week and was seeded 2nd, and reached the semifinals without dropping a set where they lost in straight sets to the eventual champions and 4th seeds, Spaniard [[Marcel Granollers]] and American [[Jack Sock]]. The following week, Mahut will compete in the final tournament of the year, the [[2016 BNP Paribas Masters|Paris Masters]], again in both singles and doubles draw. In [[2016 BNP Paribas Masters – Singles|singles]], Mahut faced off against [[Martin Kližan]] in the first round, whom he faced earlier in the year, and avenged the loss by a 3 set win coming from a set down, and in the second round he was taken out by 8th seed [[David Goffin]] in straight sets. In doubles, Mahut and Herbert were seeded 1st and were the home favorites. After receiving a bye into the second round they cruised against [[João Sousa]] and Kližan, which was a double revenge in the same tournament. In the quarterfinals they faced 5th seeds, Spaniards [[Feliciano López]] and [[Marc López]], who defeated Mahut and Herbert earlier this year in the third round of French Open on their opponents home soil. However, this time it is Mahut and Herbert who prevailed on home soil, in a close 3-set match. In the semifinals, the duo faced 8th seeds [[Rohan Bopanna]] and Daniel Nestor and again prevailed in a 3-set match to reach his second Paris Masters final. In the final, despite being the favorites on home soil, they lost to the unseeded pair [[Henri Kontinen]] and [[John Peers]] in another 3-set match.

Mahut and Herbert made their second straight [[2016 ATP World Tour Finals – Doubles|ATP World Tour Finals]] appearance to wrap up the season, this time seeded 1st. He and Herbert were drawn into the Fleming/McEnroe Group with 4th seeds [[Feliciano López]] and [[Marc López]], 5th seeds [[Henri Kontinen]] and [[John Peers]], and 7th seeds [[Raven Klaasen]] and [[Rajeev Ram]]. Mahut only needed to win 1 round robin match to secure his year-end No. 1 ranking in doubles, and winning the Tour Finals with 2 round robin match wins or a spot in the final with 3 round robin match wins. The pair was upset by Klaasen and Ram in straight sets in the first match in a rematch of 2016 Miami Masters Men's Doubles final, and was 2 points away from winning the second match against López and López in the decider tiebreak in a rematch of 2016 Paris Masters Men's Doubles semifinals, therefore eliminated again at round robin stage. In the final round robin match, Mahut and Herbert lost to Kontinen and Peers again in a decider tiebreak after winning the first set in a rematch of 2016 Paris Masters Men's Doubles final, resulting a last place finish in their group and putting his year-end No. 1 ranking and No. 1 doubles team of 2016 in danger. In contrary, 2nd seeds [[Jamie Murray]] and [[Bruno Soares]] won all of their 3-round robin matches, and finished 25 points ahead of Mahut and Herbert for the No. 1 doubles team of 2016. However, Murray and Soares was upset by Klaasen and Ram in the semifinals in straight sets, and as a result Mahut was able to finish 2016 ranked No. 1 in doubles. In singles, Mahut also finished 2016 at a career-best year-end ranking of No. 39.

===2017: Davis Cup success, 3 Masters titles===
Following on his stellar 2016 season in doubles, Mahut had a more difficult 2017 season, not progressing past the quarterfinal stage at any of the four Grand Slams events he participated in. He did, however, duplicate his doubles success of 2016 at the [[ATP World Tour Masters 1000|Masters series]] tournaments, reaching four finals again, and winning three of them. More importantly, he won all three of the doubles rubbers he played during [[France Davis Cup team|France's]] successful [[Davis Cup]] campaign that ended with a 10th [[2017 Davis Cup|Davis Cup Trophy]].

=== 2018: French Open doubles champion, ATP Finals runner up ===

Roland-Garros - Nico Mahut, ses adieux à Roland : "Plus de 25 ans de carrière..." |language=fr|date=29 May 2025}}</ref>

== Playing style ==
Mahut is a solid [[baseliner]] who is also very adept at [[serve and volley]]ing. He has an accurate first serve that puts his opponent out of position, and then comes to the net to finish the point, a tactic he often employs on grass. On a second serve or on other surfaces, Mahut engages more frequently in baseline rallies and attacks the net whenever he sees a chance. He has consistent and accurate strokes off both wings, and he is also capable of hitting winners from both wings with a combination of speed and angle.

His consistent serve, skillful net play and clever placement of returns have also made him an exceptional doubles player.

==Longest match in history==
{{Main|Isner–Mahut match at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships}}
[[File:Plaque on Wimbledon Court No. 18 to commemorate the longest match in tennis history between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut on 22-24 June 2010.jpg|right|thumb|239x239px|The plaque on the wall of Court 18 at Wimbledon that commemorates the match]]
In what became a record-setting match, spanning three days, [[qualifier (tennis)|qualifier]] Mahut faced 23rd seed [[John Isner]] in the first round of the [[2010 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles|2010 Wimbledon Championships]] on 22–24 June. Isner served a world record 113 aces in the single match alone, breaking [[Ivo Karlović]]'s record of 78. Mahut would go on to surpass it as well with 103.<ref>[http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/scores/stats/day10/1160ms.html Isner-Mahut Match Sheet] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100626172731/http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/scores/stats/day10/1160ms.html |date=26 June 2010 }}</ref> Play was suspended at 21:11 on 23 June due to darkness at a score of 59–59.

Isner was not able to win his next match & had to drop out of the doubles portion due to fatigue.

The match is the longest match ever in a Tennis Open in terms of both time and number of games,<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/tennis/53159416|title=Wimbledon Rewind: The Longest Match|publisher=BBC Sport}}</ref> lasting a total of 183 games, and a total of 11 hours and 5 minutes in duration; it beat, respectively, the [[Pancho Gonzales]] – [[Charlie Pasarell]] record of 112 games in the first round of [[1969 Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon in 1969]], and the [[Fabrice Santoro]] – [[Arnaud Clément]] record of 6 hours, 33 minutes at the [[2004 French Open]].

Both players and the referee later received commemorative prizes for participating in the match. Mahut holds the record for most points won in a tennis match, at 502 points. He also holds the Wimbledon record for most games won in a match by a losing player with 91.
