Re: Shortest WTA match?
Maybe one where somebody retired early?  (Or if 2 sets only are counted, maybe quit @ 0-6, 0-2 or whatever). Or tanked, like in this "dishonorable mention" from 1999:
AMELIA ISLAND - Patty Schnyder must have wished she were somewhere else than Stadium Court at the Bausch & Lomb Championships yesterday, because it certainly looked as if she were.
Schnyder appeared uninterested and aloof during a 40-minute 6-0, 6-2 quarterfinals loss to Anna Kournikova. The sixth-seeded Schnyder listlessly loped around the court, and even appeared to sometimes quit on points.
And the 20-year-old Swiss native confirmed those observations after the match. ''I hate playing her and I don't play if I'm on the court against her,'' Schnyder said. ''It's her person and everything around her. It's not her game....

Re: Shortest WTA match?
Maggie Maleeva beat Rachel Viollet at Wimbledon in like 30 minutes, worst match I ever saw, Think she won like 10 points the whole match and lost 6-1 6-0, there were no rallies at all!

I cant't believe you would let someone beat you if you were trying to make the argument that they had no game
