On July 5, 2006, Knowles participated in the longest match in Wimbledon history, lasting 6 hours and 9 minutes. Knowles has also played singles and doubles for the Bahamas Davis Cup team for more than 13 years and he is a four-time Olympian.
In December 2001, Mark launched the first Mark Knowles Celebrity Tennis Invitational in Paradise Island in order to support different Bahamian charities. Andre Agassi, James Blake and a host of high profile tennis players have hit the courts in the past and this year will be just as an important event with some big names. Everyone was encouraged to come out and support the worthy cause, and catch some great tennis action. All took place at the Atlantis Tennis Centre, and children entered free of charge.
