Lol. I watched about 6 of the 11 hours of this match, starting with day 2, and saw some of the best technical tennis at the tournament, even when the guys could hardly move. Absolutely stunning!

It's kinda suspicious, maybe they made an agreement to tennis for a sick long time to get a new world record ^^, but I haven't seen it so I can't really judge.

Anyway would they share the world record, or would one have the world record of losing the longest tennis match and the other one the world record of winning the longest tennis match :-P ?

I really doubt it. This is a Grand Slam tournament and it isn't one village backyard ATP tournament. Here every player wants to get into the next round
