Sport ist Mord!

[Gerald]

hard and busy :yep:

[Skybird]

Neues vom Spocht...

The American won 70:68 in fifth set.

Uff-uff! Total match length: 11:05 hours over three days. The fifth set alone lasted for over 7 hours.

Final score: 6:4, 3:6, 6:7, 7:6, 70:68

One woman in the audience started to laugh hysterically and could not stop, she was led away and got treatement.

The concentration and nerves to successfully maintain their service for so long cannot be applauded and admired enough.

Legendary!

[Platapus]

That must have been one boring game to watch. :yawn:

But talk about fighting to the very end. :salute:

[Jimbuna]

I may be accused of being a sceptic but I'm wondering if they had a gentlemans agreement to create a world record and at say....60:60 start playing seriously to win.

I'm probably wrong but there is an element of food for thought in two unseeded players making a surefire way of getting into the history books :hmmm:

[Skybird]

If that gets shown to be true, they both deserve a public spanking of their bare bottoms.

[papa_smurf]

Longest tennis match in history - 11 hours 5 minutes

[Jimbuna]

If that gets shown to be true, they both deserve a public spanking of their bare bottoms.

That would cause a right 'racket' in the tennis community.

:o

In which case, please allow me to humbly volunteer my services... :O:

[frau kaleun]

That would cause a right 'racket' in the tennis community.

Although it would serve them right I'm not sure there's any advantage in it. And then the whole thing might end up in court.

[Weiss Pinguin]

Well I suppose the ball's in their court now.



Wait wrong sport?

[Jimbuna]

Although it would serve them right I'm not sure there's any advantage in it. And then the whole thing might end up in court.

Well that would serve them both right.

[Arclight]

The trial should be a smash hit though.

The trial should be a smash hit though.

Nah, I actually traveled to the future and watched it.

The lawyers all tended to be-Laver the same points over and over again, and even the petty Becker-ing never got Nastase enough to be entertaining. The judge had to Lendl the bailiff his coffee thermos to keep him from dozing off and falling on his Ashe, and the jury had to try Evert so hard to stay interested. In the end, everyone was just Borg stiff.

[Arclight]

Hmm, I can't imagine you ad court. Sounds like they all needed a break. :hmmm:

Thanks for the report, love. ;)

[Jimbuna]

So in the end I suppose everybody love d all.
