*Took 8 years to highlight*

During the match ball boys got a little bit older. One of them got mustache

Legend has it that they faked the ending and they’re actually still playing now.

After these guys finished their match, the other half of the draw already had a finalist.

Mahut went on to play doubles later the same day. Crazy.

Mahut had an enormous disadvantage serving second in the 5th set

The record books will say that John Isner won that match. But something that must not be forgotten is how the odds were against Mahut in that final set. He was serving second against a better singles player, with a better serve and slightly better returns. And Mahut still managed to hold serve against the ropes for 68 games. That, in my opinion, was what made that odyssey of a game possible. Isner should have won it way before and he was virtually unbreakable. It was Mahut’s gigantic play and mental strength that made this the most epic tennis match in history.

Imagine losing this match ... that would be like the worst feeling ever

Federer's long lost brother 8:10

Damn the amount of match points bahut saved when serving 2nd in 5th set was amazing

The scoreboard gave up. Lol

I wasn't there for this match, but saw them the following year when they were drawn against each other in the first round again. It was a very different story with Isner winning in straight sets against an injured Mahut - the most remarkable thing about the match for me was spotting Mohamed Lahyani (who umpired their original match) in the crowd! 11+ hours clearly wasn't enough for him. 😁

lol 32-33 in the fifth set and its only 4:32 into a 25 min HIGHLIGHTS reel lol ... both should have gotten a medal

Mahut’s face says it all standing next to Isner and the scoreboard.

Imagine if this happened in the finals of any grand slam

Mahut had only 3 break point chances the entire match...

The interview after the match made it seem like a final.... what a match though!

Anyone after djokovic-federer game?

Only Mahut is shown serving, with numerous aces (103). But Isner actually had more aces (113). Crazy match.

That poor man at 7:30 expecting to record the final match point... They were 32-33. He had to wait just 40 games more to have his video. Im sure his phone battery was 0%...)

Poor ball boys :)

Anyone here after Kevin Anderson Vs John Isner Wimbledon 2018 Semi-Final?

I am laughing at Isner having match point at 10-9 in the fifth set, and they were barely though 1/3 of the games they'd play in the whole match.

Woa that strength for 2 players 11 hour play tennis 😍

One of my favorite sports trivia questions, is who served the second most aces in an ATP match...It's Mahut. Most than 25 more than Karlovic's best

Finally. After 8 years ffs!

Mahut lost the match but the match points he saved given the situation were incredible, and his ability to not let his nerves get to him

The physical and mental strength they have is amazing. Seriously so much respect for Mahut and Isner ❤️

Legends said that they were still playing to this day, while all other rivals are playing at the Australian Open 2019. The 70-68 ending was just faked by NASA.

Those speeches and rewards must of been hard for Nicolas to do considering he just lost after an incredible 11 hours and 5 minutes long match and he was such a good sport and praised John and wasn’t salty about it ❤️ well done

At least they fixed the scoreboard technology / software overnight. I thought they had to bring back old non-electronic scoreboards for third day when I watched this in live. Organizers were lucky that score didnt go over 99-99, they didnt have a room for 3-figure scores .

They should make a movie about this memorable match.

Cant even watch the 25 minute highlights, had to forward it... lol..

This match took time more than whole Federer's match in wimbledon 2017.

The only match that change the rules of tennis. One of the greatest match ever.

Feeling pity over the commentators... damn... started like for an hour or 2, may be at maximum 3... trying to figure out some thing new to say at more than 200 aces

What a memorable match that was!

25:25 Mahut is secretly cashing in on the hair gel endorsement, which kept his coiff for 11h5m.

Mahut in the thumbnail=worst feeling ever

Djokovic and Nadal AO fimal was epic too. Until they could not stand and had to have chairs during speeches from the presidents.

Remarkable match. This match was during the week we had an tournament at our club. I remember this match played in the club house on the beamer. Outside 30 degrees, but 100 people we're locked inside for 3 days watching this match. The commentary was played also on the speakers outside, so the players in a match could follow the game.

Basketball game score

That moment when highlights start at 2 sets all and goes on for 25minutes

Finally Wimbledon did it!!!

Mahut serving aces at 125 mph at 49-50 to stay in the match...what a contender.

Epic. Not possible at the US open.

The greatest match of all time!

OMG the best game ever and for ever

Fun facts: - Each player won his service since the second game of the second set until the end - 164 new balls were used during the match - Isner hit 113 aces and Mahut hit 103 - 980 points were played and Mahut won 502 of them... Isner won only 478 !

Anderson had a 26-24 fifth set thriller win to isner today after 6h36

Who's here after Anderson vs. Isner Semi-Final Match?!. 🍀

普通に感動しますね！

10 Years Today Ladies and Gents!

Who else is here because of Anderson game?

How is he going to play the second round.

2018 Miami Open Champ! :)

This match was Ronald McIntosh’s first ever Wimbledon commentary. Talk about a baptism of fire.

Mahut was a great sport.

And that is why the super tie-breaker was made

Even the Electronic Score board gave up

Si John Isner avait perdu, il aurait pu dire : " Nicolas m'a eu ".

Whatching this while federer is playing in the final against djokovic. We are 10game to 10game, idk who will win.

Wow this was 10 years ago?! Time flies :( I wanted Mahut to win

Tennis is the hardest sport in the world. Period

Isner did it again. 2018

The highlight is funny.4 sets in 2 minutes,and the fifth set in 20 minutes.The most exciting game ever.I think Mahut really wanted to cry when he lost this game.

great match,,,,

Imagine watching the whole game

Isner was to have yet another marathon encounter in 2018 when he lost 26-24 to Kevin Andersen in the semis

Just look at 25:41. I'm feeling goosebumps by seeing these two athletes having a pose by the scoreboard with 70-68 written over it. Wimbledon really should take a photo of their pose and should keep it in their historical museum as a memoir. After 100 years our grandchildren would watch this photo after which they will go crazy. Really a historical pose and a historical moment. I don't know why am I feeling goosebumps after watching them pose by the scoreboard.

Respect ✊ champion

Something only you'd see from an American and Frenchmen. Stubbornness, passion and pure joy made this possible.

ridiculous match up !!!

Why did they not have any highlights of isner serving?

Two great tennis players. Difference between them was literally ~1/100.

as the late great bobby heenan once said "there are no winners in a match like... in fact whoever win this one is gonna be a loser anyway"

If these Guys NEVER do anything else... They will be remembered for this

Anderson 2:2 Isner Fifth set 18:19...5 hours 52 minutes 13.07.2018.

Nico! Nico! Nico! A jamais dans nos cœurs

Mahut looked liked an athletic Sid Vicious in this match!!

Biggest celebration for a first round match

Honestly surprised either of them ever played again after this match. The physical and mental endurance this must have taken.

24:32 Nicolas is so tired he forget to take the ball out of his pocket after the match :(.

Does Wimbledon organizer have full video of this century matchz?

Longest Tennis Match Ever

the match where the ball boys became ball men

took 8 years to upload to youtube

THIS IS INSANE. HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS UNTIL 2018???

funny thing is they met up first round next year again

Mahut’s face at the end though :)))))

Upload the full match!!!

This year: Isner and Anderson!

What if this match never ended

CmonCmon John, we wanna go home

Mahut deserved way more to win. John Isner only stayed in that match because of his serve. Every rally he lost.

Make this to full 11.5 hrs video should be very interesting enough, very best thriller it was. 1 of those 3x 12-12 or further decider I ever seen

Awsome

This match is the reason why tiebreaks should decide the outcome in the 5. set ... in every grand slam, especially Wimbledon where the ball does not lose any speed when hitting the ground

What is admirable, it's that they are both "second-rank" players. None of them could hope to reach the finals (John Isner got destroyed the second round), and yet they still fought till the very end.

Unfortunately for us every time a match goes past 6 all in the 5th set we get commentators saying "We are heading into Isner-Mahut territory now". So annoying.
