Longest Tennis Match - John Isner vs. Nicolas Mahu

[TiniFederer]

they probably thought 'the good times at 0-0!'

[CharIiePresents]

I swear they continued this match? :l

[MrStonecold69]

I WANT MY FOUR MINUTES BACK U SON OF A BITCH

[95Tezza95]

the camera started to wear out over the 11 hours, that accounts for the bad quality 

[bobobmorris]

who won kents?

[madascene99]

I think there should be tie breaks in the 5th set too. We can look back at a match like this with sheer amazement and disbelief but its just not fair on the players to expect them to go through something like this.

[jaketyler27]

@madascene99 yeah but how often does it happen to an extreme - rarely

[wojciechpaluska]

Isner ty skurwysynu zebys sie przekrecil !!! Ty gnoju chuju zajebany!

[federerfreak4]

gay thing about match was that it wasn't on centre court

[MajkiPGWCh04]

something NOT TO BELIEVE. In fact, I can't believe, respect for both

[casamir111]

Has anyone found a highlights video? ;) Probably be the length of a normal match.

[MrRazorblade999]

Must have been rigged

[xRedFoo209x]

didnt they play the next day and isner won 70-68

[ZKichiro]

you can see here that neither one of them wanted to win....

jajaja

[bogjtc]

it is MAHUT not Mahu

[cantor0305]

incredible even the ibm scoreboard collaps 2:16

[allezlom4]

Bravo Nicolas, tu as rendu la France fière en pleine Coupe du Monde. Vive Mahut !

[jwong1208]

Are they still playing?

[atomicmrpelly]

HAHAHAHA "Nicolass Mahoot" classic American failure to understand other languages!

[douchbag26]

@atomicmrpelly lol as if you'd be any better at other languages, typical foreign arrogance

[atomicmrpelly]

@douchbag26 I at least have sufficient intelligence to make a vague attempt at names/words in most languages based on Roman characters.

[Ace180389]

Somebody tells me that they were still playing 

[DuendeDude]

I wish I had a ticket for this match ...

[coopisgod13]

i wonder how many people watching this said to themselves "i wish this match could go on forever"

or said "will somebody please win already"

[reduolf]

Funny thing with the 2011 Wimbledon. Isner and Mahut played in the first round and Isner won again. But now Isner is in the second round playing back on Court 18, must be funny playing there again - he's probably had enough of it after 11 hours!!

[ChilldudeVS]

Filmed with a potato.

[UnionKid15]

This was probably the craziest thing I have ever seen in sports history. If you had told me that I would see a fifth set that finished with a 70-68 score, I would have told you that you were crazy. Thanks a lot for posting this video.

[ChrlynHD]

FUCKING SHIT QUALITY

[lee1000ify]

That was the longest match in tennis history. I just wish they did it again.

[tooqwerty4u]

@lee1000ify they are. :D

[lee1000ify]

@tooqwerty4u I bet is going to be second longest tennis match in history.

[pjupu]

great quality

[trisnjok]

@Rafathaman94 1:127

[yazg6]

I can't believe they're playing again! The drawing must be rigged! It just has to be! lol

[mbisbee13]

shit quality

[Obelisk1990]

No fucking way, Isner vs Mahut again. Not even Mahut vs Isner, but really the same order of play lol! First Round Wimbledon 2011... AMAZING! COURT 18 PLEASE !!!!

[sstk9]

They're playing each other again? Oh this was sooo deliberate...

Not that im complaining.

[SHOPAH0LIC]

WHO'S EXCITED TO SEE THESE GUYS PLAYING AGAIN AT WIMBLEDON!

[goldenglaoui]

DON'T MISS THE REMAKE OF THIS HOMERIC MATCH : NEXT MONDAY, AT WIMBLEDON 2011, 1ST ROUND !

Allez Nicolas, Allez John régalez - nous !

[FatihTekke10]

Another time ahahha epic!

[mileslime]

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!

[jdanteb]

@mileslime last year's Wimbledon, 1st round. stretched 3 days

[GREALDO21]

im proper pissed of because i was there the day before at the same court, dustin brown vs jurgen melzer... just not the same

[jamesh62]

this video is so hard to watch

[dageezerboi]

87 85 or something it finished lol after over 8 hours for 1 set. best match ever

[FatihTekke10]

@dageezerboi 70-68



[Inspire6]

the match was so long this video didnt get the ending

[MrIIZZYY]

went to 70-68

[idrllorpw]

dont they ever get tired???

i would be tired for the first hour

[LFCEOIN]

the best tennis game iv ever watched

[halogirlelite]

and my boyfriend says tennis players aren't real athletes...

[DLPBurke]

@AntiFanBoy1 Well that's thanks to them slowing the balls and courts down.  Favours that kind of player....

[DLPBurke]

@AntiFanBoy1 No. Rog > Nad > Djok, but nadal is a 1 trick pony and when he isnt able to run like he does, he will be finished as a player. His whole game is based on moonballing and defence and power.

[DLPBurke]

@AntiFanBoy1 back to your bedroom troll LOL

[centralviva]

I dare someone to make highlights of this match

[QJohnny12]

I JIZZED IN MY PANTS

[MrSatsuma64]

amazing match- terrible quality video

[clarinetjo]

The presentator says something like "Mahoott" every time, it's really bizarre for me. (It's a french name : "Mahut", don't pronounce the letter "t" and pronounce "u" like "ü" in german)

[DLPBurke]

Why can't you people upload a decent quality video?

[loremellie]

Goddamn, I kept on watching :D that was quite a good match actually

[doublea422]

holy aces...

[XxcrimelordxX]

i watched the whole thing before

[MrPenuswilliams1980]

Who can put this whole match on youtube LOL

[1930bilbo]

Karlovic has a better serve and would have hit more if he ever played a match this long.

[BrotherTree1]

@1930bilbo He's probably not as fit, so probably no lol.

[1930bilbo]

@BrotherTree1 One he holds serve more consistenly than isner and easier because of the shorter points, 2 Karlovic is listed 14 times in the top 52 for aces in a single match, where isner is only listed for this and one other match, and karlovic is 15 lbs lighter.

[BrotherTree1]

@1930bilbo He's lighter and therefore more fragile so, to even make it past 20-20 for all will be absolutely remarkable considering his fitness issues in long matches. It tends to affect his serve when he gets tired and thats what lets him down in tough 5 setters. But yes if he was as fit and is able to make it past even 10 all or 20 all, no doubt Karlovic's serve is more compact and more direct.

[TheSupertennisking]

Isner will beat Roddick in Indian Wells Open.

[LFRUIZ15]

@TheSupertennisking nop..

[AttackTheGasStation1]

ha ha youtube the most democratic stuff of the world. Everyone can post a comment. Bright people or dumb redneck...

[federerbestcIass]

@AttackTheGasStation1 I agree......Even republicans can make a right comment!!!

[Orangebike666]

Legend has it... they are still playing.

[PenaltyKillah]

@Orangebike666 They will play for eternity in the afterlife ;)

[AsG1989]

scoreboards fatiqued lol

[delavega78]

only ridiculous for people who never care about sport

[adamgergich96]

this bloke talking is a fuckwit

[Lemon77UG]

Someone should upload the entire match.

[elmosh19]

Update: Mahut 63467 - 63466 Isner...

[TJB147]

@elmosh19 They are still playing! The apparent subsequent matches never happened! It was all a fabrication which so meticulous that it all looked real (and all tournaments after)

[foul01]

great, i just watched isner and mahut practiced serve for 10 hours

when does the real match start?

[mugenjin205]

It sad that after 118 games the highlights for the match are still boring! Give me any match with a top 10 player of this serve-a-thon any day of the week.

[bozsurfco]

@mugenjin205 i don't think you understand the magnitude of this match.

[mike104100]

@mugenjin205 first of all, do you know that you wont see a match like this in a long time?, they had more than 400 winners, and thats a lot for just one match, if you are lucky, you can have more than 60, and isner now has the record of aces in a match, 112, do you still think its boring?

[SirMadridi20]

TALKING ABOUT AN EVEN MATCH !!!!!

[samajax7]

AMAZING !!! geweldig

[goldenglaoui]

Both of u guys are right !

Btw, thanks for your accurate knowledge of my tongue !!

Long live USA.

Salutations amicales de France.

[goldenglaoui]

Nicolas Mahut ( pronounce : "maü" ) was born in Angers, west of France.

He first trained at the Beaucouzé tennis club ( at 5 ), He joined tennis Etudes juniors in Paris at age 11. His mother passed away in 2005. His father is a retired computer engineer.

He admired Pete Sampras, Yannick Noah and Michael Jordan.Has 3 older brothers + 1 sister. He lives in Boulogne Billancourt. Favourite movie is Matrix. Likes listening to music ( Oasis, John Mayer), and soccer ( supports Paris Saint Germain).

[reduolf]

@goldenglaoui is he married?

[goldenglaoui]

@reduolf Yes, indeed, he is married with a cute French girl called Minette, who happens to be pregnant.

Take care m8, cheers from Angers, France.

[temoni999]

@goldenglaoui I heard his girlfriend was called Virginie before, or is he married with a different girl?

[goldenglaoui]

@temoni999 Actually " Minette " is her nickname. Which means " Kitty " in French.

[KxxxCxxxDxxx]

wow, this videos shitty as fuck, you cant even see whats going on. thumbs down for this one

[ZimmermanTelegram]

This is why US Open never has any legendary matches. It has a tiebreak in the fifth.

[walterwoods28]

John Isner's a piece of shit.

[goldenglaoui]

Bravo Nicolas !!!

[Shiliitexx]

Pauvre Nicolas...

[Tconl]

Does anyone know where I can see the whole match? Stream/download or anything at all?

[DeeperBlueThought]

haha, calling him mahoot....his name is Mahut (pronounced Ma-who)

[StokaXXL]

@DeeperBlueThought

Actually, "h" isn't pronounced in French. I asked my French teacher once how to pronounce Nicolas' surname. She sad it's pronounced "Mau", but that "u" at the end is not a typical "u", but just like the "ü" in German... :)

[DeeperBlueThought]

@StokaXXL

Alright Mr.GoodyGoody hehe! Correction noted.

[freakguitar1]

@StokaXXL in special cases an "h" is pronounced. like in "hangar". slightly pronounced.

[StokaXXL]

@freakguitar1 Every rule has it's exceptions. But as you said, in special cases. :)

[freakguitar1]

@StokaXXL yep! i am not very sure, but i think our france teacher once explained it this way with "hangar" :D

[StokaXXL]

@freakguitar1 Hmm, my French teacher said that "h" is NEVER pronounced except in foreign words... Maybe "hangar" is a Hungarian word, therefore "h" is pronounced. But in original French words "h" is never pronounced... :/ xD

[freakguitar1]

@StokaXXL ahahah look what ive found! (cannot post links, but type in google "pronounce h in french" . then the first link) :D there are 2 types of "hasch" :D but you are right, its not pronounced, its more whispered..... good source though!

[Obelisk1990]

This still is going through my mind lol. They should sell DVD's of the 11 hours and 5 minutes match!

[goldenglaoui]

Nicolas Mahut was born in Angers, western part of France ( precisely in Beaucouzé a village nearby)

He currently lives in New York City where he particularly appreciates the US way of life.

[stopkitten]

I was there it was crazy

[BrotherTree1]

to the most ridiculous thing you may ever see in ur life. damn right it is.

[Richardhedditch261]

Those sorry, inadequate bastards, Isner and Mahut. They're bgoth too weak and incompetant to finish each other off.

[gigatron4]

@Richardhedditch261 Or maybe they really wanted to win?...

[pharry4life]

@Richardhedditch261 Agreed, what is so amazing about a pair of similarily mediocre players unable to deliver the killing punch. How this won the ESPY award for the best record blows me away, how can you not give it to Bolts incredible world record in 100m. Morons voted..thats why.

[dtwisy12]

@pharry4life It is much easier to run 100m than play an endless Tennis match. Just swinging a racket one hundred times could wear someone out. Phelps was more impressive than Bolt.

[galattee]

@Richardhedditch261 Just go and beat them. It's easier to eat chips behind the screen than beeing in their shoes. They wen't through hell, trust me

[gavinpaget]

crap quality it is third rate

[meshary5]

one of my friends said " It's fu..ing fixed match"

He's maybe right

[Ichigopab]

Thank You John and Nicolas for making history!!

[majestytd]

John Isner is hella slow...



[Rysher735]

You call this HD? lol. Was a wonderful match tho...

[SportsENTCenter]

[NHLfreak87]

[SportsENTCenter]

[bonzot]

@umadbrow you're a moron

[mawriz]

Please upload a better quality video. This is an epic match and they deserve better quality.

[nbss]

baad quality

[iyardagan]

sh*t man

[Caleb0014]

This was one hell of a basketball game XD

[AFW333]

I felt sorry for the guys..

Isner was like a zombie after a while! They should do something about the rules.. this is everything but healthy!

But..really great job for both of them! :D

[Robstrike1]

holy shit the quality suck

[chucku00]

Too tired to write correctly the name of MahuT ?

[haveumetmark]
