Isner has played in the longest tiebreak. longest set and longest match in history. The man just loves being on the court.
And second longest match with Anderson in 2018, which was a continuous 6h36.
Your comment was almost perfect. You should have said he loves being long(as in he is very tall)
He doesn't get enough credit for his endurance.
He also holds the record for having the longest legs in atp history.
*yawn*
John isner’s only goal in life is to hold all the records for longest tennis matches 😂😂
Watching these two is like watching a different sport
A dunking competition😂
A shit sport
is this still tennis?
At this point let's ask a real NBA athlete to play: I bet that Giannis would beat this two easily
@@wisdon i bet my net worth Giannis won't win a single game.
Yeah but in a bad way . So boring
Fun fact: These two giants played 13 tiebreaks out of 15 sets in 5 matches 😁
What else can we expect from serve bots 😂
Wow! Thanks for that stat. Just shows what a serve can do
@@sulemannadeem2213 such an disrepectful comment.
You don't know nothing about being them 👎👎
@@anhboa2 lol its true tho. amazing serve but everything else is average at best. its no surpise majority of their sets go to tiebreak.
@@victor-hx4vo it's all about using what you have.
No one blame you for not being richer than Buffet.
if you told me at the beginning of 2022 that the record for the longest tie-break in history will be broken
I would have guessed it's between Isner and Opelka
Sure
@your mother
yeah, that part is unexpected
some good passing shots too
And now you want us to call you a genius or what’s your point?…
@@aca2077
do people call you "the stormtrooper"?
cuz you missing the point completely
@your mother good rallies??
Knew it. If it was going to be someone, it had to be Isner and Opelka.
Amazing!!
Remember the Isner and Mahut world record match at Wimbledon. It's what you get when you have a guy who barely loses service games, but lacks the skillset to break opponents' service games. I would only expect such a record from Isner and from Raonic. Karlovic maybe, if he still plays
Shocking that Isner and Opelka only played tiebreaks.
Technically not shocking at all
@@utkarshpant5297 either it’s sarcasm or it’s the fact that out of the 5 times theyve played, every set has been a tiebreak. (Which vitally is shocking)
@@utkarshpant5297 Jokes are shocking to you I see.
@@gravinboginagis6568 No. The very first match between them ended 6-7 6-4 6-2. But every other set is a tie-break from the other 4 meetings
@@karimtriki4404 ah ok didn’t realise that, still tho a lot of tiebreaks
Isner plays the longest ATP and Wimbeldon tiebreaks!
which was the longest Wimbledon tiebreak?
Lmao
there was no tiebreak in his record match against Mahut in 2010
@@sebastianh6903 he should have said "he played the longest match and now the longest tiebreak in history!"
Isner's profiles:
1. played the longest match against Mahut at Wimbledon 2010
2. played the longest tiebreak against Opelka at Dallas 2022
3. used to be the "longest" man in ATP
to be honest, there were more quality rallys than I expected
Yeah but still a lot of service winners which is why the tie break went so long. These Goliath gents are carried predominantly by their beast serve so going head to head, its less of a battle of amazing tennis and more of just a battle of power. When these two play each other, they should raise the net on serve to correct for their obvious height advantage... double the net height lol. Now THAT'd be enjoyable to watch.
@@physicsguybrian lmao
yeah for sure
@@physicsguybrian nothing wrong with being carried by a huge serve, many players are carried by a huge forehand. To serve that well still requires excellent technique, even if they are huge.
And these guys are massively disadvantaged in rallies as a result of their height. The ONLY way they can compete is by working on their serve constantly to ensure its an absolute weapon.
You have to work with what you're born with. Not everyone has Nadals speed, Djokovics agility, or Federers movement. In fact, hardly anyone does.
Two men from the USA, two men by more than 81 inches, two kings of aces, and two men who play many tiebreaks.
hearing "81 inches" makes me dislike imperial even more
@@json_bourne3812 no one says that here😂
Longest match in tennis.
Longest tiebreak in tennis.
Longest 5th set in tennis.
...
Longest human in tennis.
-John Isner
Same thoughts 😅
Opelka is actually taller!
@@molybdaenmornell123hopp5
he said "longest", so he's obviously talking about something other than height
@@lotus630 LOL
@@lotus630 what longest is he talking about? I don't understand
Isner be like -
If no grand slams ;
I m gonna make my own history
😂😂😂😂😂
If Isner had become a professional bowler, somehow he would have become involved in the longest bowling match in history.
I bet he would finish Cooper test in over 12 minutes.
2:24 Holy curve.
4:40 Omg, just as good.
Isner served better in the tiebreak and got more free points
He had play in so many of Opelka’s serve points and got into the rally loads of times but couldn’t win the point
Opelka is superior from the baseline which ended up being the reason he won
100% right and that's why Opelka is 4-1 in the H2H vs Isner
@@McNitals fun fact: in all the four times opelka won, they only played tiebreaks😂
@@brownie43212 but isner always played like this, i think he's sharper with his service than opelka, both have great fh, but the rest of the Game opelka it's better imo
Opelka moves quite well for a giant of a man (6'11"). He may not be overly fast in terms of pure speed but he anticipates well and gets to a lot of shots most tour players don't. Plus he does have a pretty solid baseline game.
@@diegosotomiranda4107 nah. When Isner was in his 20s, he played much better then Opelka now.
Why are people complaining?
Most players are not servebots, so why is it so offensive to see this ones in a while lol
Because it’s boring and repetitive lol
@@elvisac4425 one could argue that watching two beanpoles hit 40 shot crosscourt rallies every point is a bit boring 🤔
@@17Rasto hate to break it but most ppl would rather watch 20+ shot rallies (especially mixed with different shots) than a serve bot fest
@@elvisac4425 Yeah, but both have good groundies and here's a factoid for you. Isner took Rafa to five sets in the 2011 french open. To do that, you need good ground strokes. Opelka reached the Rome semis last year so they can both play on clay
@@z1az285 No point explaining. Most likely these pple don't even watch full tennis matches, otherwise they'd appreciate how diversity in playstyle makes the game interesting.
Twin Towers of tennis make history, well done.
Idk how people can find this boring..? It’s so satisfying to watch them bomb those aces
Good Lord, their last 12 sets played have ALL gone to tie-breaks :O
Never Ending tiebreak~, I'm impressed. Thanks so much.
Great sportmanship. Nice to watch.
There's some great saves in this, especially Opelka
Now I hope we don't do something stupid like put a points limit on tiebreaks. Otherwise we miss out on epics like this one.
Why would you put a limit on points? It's not like this happens all the time
@@metaloenformol They did it in Wimbledon, but for games, not for tiebreaks' points.
That doesn't make sense, it would give whoever serves first the advantage. You have to win by 2 to force you to break serve
If it favors the corporate business side of tennis, then it will happen... sadly.
@@physicsguybrian it doesn't and it won't
For the people complaining, this happens when two similar players face each other, two pushers on clay can be wayy more boring cause You have 40 rallies with uninspired shots that You pray for the gods to finally end
I would watch servebots over pushers any day
there are no pushers at the pro level. Maybe call them grinders
This doesn't happen when 2 similar players face each other. This happens when 2 players that rely on their serve for the majority of their points face each other. Two "pushers" can and often does just end at someone getting to 7 leading by two, because anyone can win any point.
Still, how is watching two guys just serve more interesting then watching people actually hitting a series of ground strokes, even if they are not very aggressive? I mean it’s not like you have people playing moon balls
Isner involved in the longest tiebreak in history, the longest singles match in history, the match with the most aces and the server of the most aces in a match (those last 3 occurred in the same Wimbledon epic).
Great editing!
Man. Crazy match. This was really a five set match.
Isner played the longest match in history, and now the longest tie break!
Fun fact : Isner was part of the longest match ever in 2010 Wimbledon against Mahut, the longest tiebreaker ever yesterday, but also the longest French Open match (by games played) since the introduction of the tiebreaker in 2012 against Paul Henri Mathieu and the longest grand slam semi-final ever (both by games played and time) at 2018 Wimbledon against Anderson (which is also the 3rd longest match ever in tennis history).
Also one of the longest guys on tour
@@whateverreally1347 I remember that day against Anderson. He was so frustrated afterwards.
There were longer tie breaks in tennis history:
In January 2013, at the $10,000 Men's Futures tournament qualifications at Plantation, Florida, Benjamin Balleret defeated Guillaume Couillard in a 70-point tiebreak 7-6(36-34), 6-1. Despite the match being played without any chair umpire or any lines people, its score has been verified by the ITF and ATP.
The second longest official tiebreak was played on 23 January 2016 at the $25,000 Men's Futures tournament, Kazakhstan F1, at Aktobe when Evgeny Tyurnev defeated Danilo Petrović 7-6(25-23), 6-3 in the final.
Other long tiebreakers
Aki Rahunen won a 24-22 first set tiebreak against Peter Nyborg in the first round of qualifications of the 1992 Copenhagen Open, going on to win the match 7-6(24-22), 2-6, 6-3.
Their serves are just crazy! Talk about evenly matched, these two.
So now Isner has the bragging rights of not only being in the longest tennis match, but the longest Tiebreak.
What's next? The longest Deuce?
Can you really brag about it if you lost it?
@@ignatiosd7262 Im sure he is conflicted about telling or not telling people about it
Longest Deuce goes to Tsitsipas
@@gjarucki top comment😂
Absolutely not surprised of this vid!
A lot of people calling this boring, this is exactly why I love tennis! It's not all just one path to victory. There are so many ways you can play this game and I think that's beautiful 😁
If every point could only be won through long rallies and high percentage shots, THAT would be boring 🙄
Omg ! I thought it was never going to end. These two giants are clearly the "Ace Kings" the tiebreak was almost as long as the match.
Both are amazing athletes!
Not really. Just tall
@@dumitriuradu8481 if You knew something about this sport You wouldnt Say that
@@diegosotomiranda4107 medvedev is an amazing athlete for his height. These one aren't 😉
@@dumitriuradu8481 man, these two move incredibly well for their height. And what is more, Zverev is much better mover than Medvedev and both of them are 198 cm tall.
The smile of isner at the end 😂😂
Impressed by Opelka's rallies
Isner did make the new legend🐐
That was an entire set in itself
I always see these two always in the tiebreaks on their matches thats because they serve very well.
I don’t know for how long I’ve waited for 4:55, searched Opelka vs Isner so many times but didn’t get much. And it’s not just because I’m crazy and wanted to see who’s actually taller, even if by mili inches (probably I’m) but this truly is a CLASH OF TITANS!
@@Momoa786 that’s truly mind boggling, great stat!
Those guys are not only big servers, this was super high level !
If I knew the tie breaker be that long, I would've taken a little nap. 😂😂
Isner is a great server, Opelka is quite good in serves but better on baseline
Opelka is as good of a server if not better. Opelka had 39 aces this match and Isner had 21
@@kubachyla6888 Opelka is definitely not better server than Is. If these two meet both in their 20s, Isner would won easily.
What a tiebreak
THE BATTLE OF THE GIANTS 🎾🎾🎾
De locos !!
46 points Damn DUDES
If this is the longest tie-break ever then Isner holds the record of playing
The longest match ever
The longest set (70-68, Wimbledon)
and the longest tie break
not as many service winners as I expected. There were actually some cool points and rallies too.
Basically, this one tie break was longer than normal badminton set. :D
Ohh man ! Wish one day this same thing repeats in US OPEN
Welcome to the future of tennis
I used to think of Isner as a one trick player, but I was wrong, I really like watching his matches. His racquet skills are terrific, his size of coarse benefits his serve but hinders his movement.
@Colonel Gibbs of course, because John is 36 and Reilly is in his 20s. Still, both of them are amazing athletes for their height.
Ivo Karlovic: "yeah they are decent servers"
Not many sports left for us wee fellows (6ft & under) to dominate. It’s crazy how well these guys move.
24-22 tiebreak score
That's an entire badminton set right there, with 3 deuces. It's rare enough to see that in badminton, let alone tennis.
It's a feast for people who love to see big serves...
damn these two giants
Fenaaa
Isner Legend 💯
The clash of two servebots 😅 amazing stuff 👏
Some Mahut/Isner 2011 vibes here
When two big Servers are playing it cannot be something other than the longest tie break in tennis history
34 minutes for a tie break, unbelievable 🙏🏼
Two people that serve and know little else. The serve cannot be overstated
In terms of time or points?
These serves are huggeeeeee. Makes me wonder how these guys never made it into a GS final yet.
The battle of giants
Remembring Isner vs Mahut 5th set @ wimbledon.
Both are pretty much the same exact player!
Isner is the Record Man
The humble giants
Reporter: "So, what did you do to prepare for the match today?"
Isner/Opelka: "Brushed up on my times tables."
They should go straight for the tiebreaks whenever those two play against each other.
Isner vs opelka 🔥🔥🔥
Who else except these 2 should do it...
i hope they always play against each other.. ACE masters
How many aces in this match ?
When giant meets giant.
Two players with Grand Slam winning serves and Challenger level ground strokes. What do you expect lol
@easyscore nice~
Wow!😳😲
Isner: Why is always me?
battle if the Titans...
It's Wimbledon 2018 all over again!
What is it with Isner and long TieBreaks?
Всегда хотел посмотреть на игру баскетболистов.
Opelka is pretty underrated . The only problem is that he is completely emotionless on the court . If you watch on mute , it would seem opelka is losing all the points with his facial expressions
Yep. every point he points his head down and lumbers along. I don't get it
Only Isner could have co made such a record
very good from opelka
what a small court
Must be the most aces in ATP Tiebreak history too? around 20 i guess
much more
38
@@johankarlsson4482 ok thanks out of 46 points that’s 83%!! a record for sure
04:55 that net is too small for theses giants
@@flowpom Omg how are you all misunderstanding each other like this. There were like 10 aces in the tiebreak. Opelka hit 39 during the whole match.
The way they make the tennis court look small because they’re both literal giants
O'Pelka is ma faverit tall player
Stakes were high
Harika
im sorry but surely dallas has some better facilities than a gym with some grandstands
The amount of anxiety would literally kill me... "Pressure is a privilege"
Oh crap, I'm down, I gotta get this point to stay in it.
Nice point, now I can be agressive with the buffer point
Alright I'm up, I've gotta win this point to secure the set.
Ofc it's an ace
Alrighty... I'm down again... I just gotta get this ball back
Return was amazing
Momentum shift go crazy, I'm up again, lets end it here
Double faulting on set point hurts
I mean credit where its due, Opelkas groundstrokes are pretty decent.
Nicholas Mahut :
Oh ! It's already over ?
Isner...the LONGESTMAN!!!
