The Tennis Thread

[Tredman]

Watched 5 minutes, really dull

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I've stuck with it all the way through.

I admire the endurance but it's so poor as a spectacle. A match where you really hope it ends 6-4 6-4 6-4, alas not. I did want an afternoon of Rafa vs Nole but not to be.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

It's tennis to the tune of a Baldrick war poem.

Fair play for sticking through this for over 5 hours DW. I've done the last 25 minutes and I'm done already. It's so attritional.

Make it stop.

It's like watching Heat. It's rubbish and nothing happens, but you can't turn it off in case something does. You're too invested by then.

Even the crowd sound like they just want it to end!

How many games did Isner's record final set go on for?

Lord of the Rings is magnificent. The only problem is the director's cuts aren't long enough.

This could go on for fucking ever.

Indeed. In fact I've just switched off The Two Towers Extended Edition to see if this has finished yet. I've been re-reading LOTR and watching the films this week.

Christ! I thought it was in the high 20's. They should really just go to a tie break once it gets to 10-10 obviously can't do that now.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

To be brutally honest I could fucking walk to Mordor and dispose of the one ring before one of these two loses his serve.

This is the thing with fishing. You cast certain lines that you know certain fish will definitely bite on :icon_lol:

Nah, it went on and on. Scoreboards failed, entire game was spread over 3 days, the final set at over 8 hours is longer than the next longest match. Unsurprisingly Isner was blasted out of the tournament in no time in the next round. If they were ever going to bring in final set breakers it was then, it won't happen.

Whoever wins this, is pretty much screwed for the final at any rate. They'll be dead on their feet most likely, not gonna be a spectacle especially against one of the other two.
