The epic match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut at Wimbledon is about to get started ... for the third straight day! I'm watching it live at espn3.com. (Sorry if that only works for Americans, other countries probably have streams I don't know about.)

Since 22 June 2010, at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships, French qualifier Nicolas Mahut and American 23 seed John Isner have been engaged in what has become the longest match in tennis history, both in terms of time and games played. Currently the match has featured 163 games (barring a default or retirement, it will finish with at least 165) and at the end of play Wednesday had been played for 9 hours and 58 minutes. The players have both set and broken numerous other Wimbledon and tennis records, including the Croatian Ivo Karlović's record of 78 aces in one match, which both players have surpassed. At the end of play Wednesday, Isner had 98 aces to Mahut's 95.
It's an unassisted longplay. Clearly not acceptable material here. Voting no.
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days
<adelikat> no doubt
<adelikat> klmz, they still do
I vote no.
The techinical quality was terrible. Failing to hit the ball and taking a hir for no reason.
Remember, you have to use frame advance. We don't accept real time speedruns!
Also, it fails to beat all existing records. Shorter matches have been recorded.
REJECTED!
