This Rally is longer than the Highlights at French Open
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Epic
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I screamed reading this 😂
true
Mid-match warm up session?
+Zeroasd693 i was exactly thinking the same! :-D
hahahha :D
Waiting for them to start their volleys
I thought exactly the same!
Ninja✓ It’s a joke you fucking idiot
When you are paid by the hour.
This comment is so underrated!!!!! Hahahahahhahahahahha
@@vedaalluri858 should be top comment by a mile
Milking that clock boiiii
finegold approves
😂🤣😂
Meanwhile, Federer has won 6-1 the set at the same time
Abraham Campos haha! Good one
Abraham Campos good one mate lol
Abraham Campos Hahahaha😂😂
Ha ha!
With fewer groundstrokes!
Simon must've thought that this was still the warm up.
You could say the same thing with Monfils.
Monfils was hitting harder and trying to make winners or at least trying to force an error out of Simon
Simon has won 12 tournaments, made the Top Ten, and has earned $millions.
what? are you talking to me.
Even though Simon thought that it was still the warm up, he still won that point.
that was the longest 2:32 video I’ve ever seen
You gotta a whole lotta likes but no reply felt kinda sad. Well hello there Brady
😂 well hello
Malteaser Head you’re*
@@janechannon8793 6 years older than last time
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Monfils: "Hey Giles, I booked a court for us where we can play as long as we like for free!"
Simon: "Cool!"
Fantastic 🤣
Epic 😅🤣
Simon is the all time best at making every single game he plays boring.
lol
Really? I think its the most intelligent way to play tennis. Dont make mistakes and make ur opponent run a lot.
yes .. so intelligent that if tennis is played like that there will be nobody in stadium apart from players,referee and ballboy .. this kind of game doesn't work against Djoko, Nadal, Fed etc. man.. else everybody would have tried that out ..
Tiger SJK v he has hit some big massive forehands before. I appreciate anyway the game is played . No he is not the most overpowering player but he plays quite a bit like a pusher .
Avishek Biswas by the looks of it I think they already had a long rally just before this point nd that was why they were seen goin easy
This had me laughing. Pros are ridiculous. You may think this rally was especially boring, but it takes a lot of skill to go this long without any unforced errors.
+Isaac Morris Yeah, really takes a lot of skill to just get balls back, until the other guy misses, instead of being brave and trying to end the point.
Isaac Morris Yeah. Most people couldn't hold their patience or concentration for this long.
Yeah people talk a lot of shit. Especially ones that couldn't win a point against an 8-year-old.
You have to take it as PROs playing this rally. They can go like this pretty much endlessly. If Monfils didnt try to win the point he might have make it much longer but he tried to win and did mistake because that takes much more skill. But because he placed his shot to the middle right for his opponent he didnt manage to recover. This rally is really bad.
Specterling bro you wouldn’t be able to keep up with the speed of the rally. It may look slow but you wouldn’t be able to catch more than 2 probably.
I tried to think of something clever to say here but I fell asleep while watching the rally.
That's clever, isn't it?
I think that was the point yes 😁
I agree, too slow IMO
Omg I never thought I see you here
And that’s clever
It looks more like a training match to me and not a Grand Slam match - especially if it comes to Simon. The only sign for me that it was a Grand Slam match was the writing "Melbourne". Or they went on record :).
DaBoominBerkan Monfils could have won the point with a longline but he didn't risk. His tennis is not risky at all.
The video is slowed down
Gabriele Maiellaro you clearly have no idea about tennis monfils is know for his risky shots you complete idiot
@@andreearnshaw4223 you are wrong... Monfils tennis is known for physical stamina and TRICKY shots but absolutely not risky shots. A first sight of his tricky shots is not enough and can confuse. Many speakers say that his tennis is not risky at all.
Introverder and perhaps the fact that they were number 6 and 7 in the world ?
Meanwhile Djokovic is still bouncing the ball before service
Meanwhile Djokovic won his 8 Australian Open
@@vitorbatista8626 meanwhile this rally was in fucking 2013
Haha 😂
Sensei Danex, Dont disrespect Djokovic that's just what he does
B20 B20 Fine, I’ll add that in for you. Djokovic still has a 0-2 record to Nick K, a player with no grand slam
It's like they are not even taking this seriously...
Andrew Nguyen they clearly are taking it serious if they are slicing and hitting across court every chance they get
Andrew Nguyen at least they're hitting the ball 3 times faster than you'll ever did
Jay L ahhhh...I love it when someone tries to argue with someone else and totally derails it with a misspelling.
Common Dirtbagz you’re stupid 😂
@@gontranlaunay7793 actually it was slow!! Except for monfils last shot or 2nd last...
"Wow, they're both really strong."
*Pause*
"Or equally weak."
Friends right?
Henry Bassett Indeed :)
wow
Rick It was a reference to a TV show, no need to take it so seriously.
Chandler : that means nothing to me.. 😀😀
This point is longer than any of my relationships
You mean this "rally"?
@@divyanshbagga22 what he means is that this rally is longer than any of the intimate moments in his relationships.
2.5 minutes. that sounds about right.
It's 72 strokes, in case anyone was wondering.
Still there most boring rally!
A practice knock-up.
I've seen far superior shorter rallies.
it says 71 only
it's actually 71, cause monfils missed that shot.
@@chloesiyeon yes but its 72 because the serve is counted too
This word (strokes) has more then 20 translations...
What a stupid shit languange!
I watch this before going to sleep
lol
😂
😂👍
:)
i watch PART OF THIS before falling asleep.....
practicing strokes in the middle of a gran slam match
Xingda Chen it’s quite common to dedicate some points to warming up when you get minimal to no warm up time
Ignasi Planas Villalba didn’t notice it was already second set but there’s no harm in doing it.
only until it went to 50-55 strokes they actually tried to end it.
they get bored too watching themselves
The two Frenchman were just passing time, waiting for their croissant
@Read SIEGE ?
@Read SIEGE Monfils and Simon are both French
@Read SIEGE I don't follow, are you suggesting one of them isn't French?
@Read SIEGE I'm not "well aware" though because they're both French, no matter what you say about horses and stables.
@Read SIEGE could you explain yourself?
"The longest women's match (by time) took place at a tournament in Richmond, Virginia, in 1984, when Vicki Nelson took 6 hours, 31 minutes to defeat Jean Hepner 6-4, 7-6(11-9). The match featured a 29-minute, 643-shot rally, the longest in professional tennis history."
I bet it was [not] a joy to watch
What pace were they playing? 2 km/h? That's rubbish.
Bro that’s fucking insane. Imagine how sore you would be the next day
their cardio must've been pretty good, damn
No one cares about the woman one
That's what the coach meant when he said "Just like practice!"
For some reasons is this rally really calming and satisfying
The first 50 or so strokes until the two actually started hitting with authority were exemplary pushing, not because of the long rally itself, but because there were no attempts to draw a weak reply or a forced error, or hit an outright winner. Pushing = feeding passive balls when not being on the defensive (hence, having the opportunity to attack).
I have no idea what you just said
Aeyherwave really? No way? Are you kidding me?! Well dude, Simon who just retired yesterday reached number 6 and got 14 titles playing (pushing) most of the time like this rally. We get on the court to win no to pleasure your tennis desires. If any tactic works then keep it as long as is efficient for you.
Simon is the orchestral maestro of the tour, his vision, tactical sense, use of opponent's pace and accuracy are incredibly high.
The cardio and leg strength to bounce back from this rally is incredible.

fifs2813 lol it made me laughing a little
ahahahaahahahahha LOOOOOOLLL!!! Xd
Why did I laugh to this? 🤣🤣🤣
@@ebenezerindi1766 Si = yes (Spanish) Mon fils = my boy (French)
YES MY BOY!!!
@@Firemarioflower y'all so funny!!!
Call me strange, but I find this enthralling. Not boring at all
This is like
How a coach plays with his new academy student for the first time..!!!😂😂
Those dudes are buddies who’ve hit a thousand hours in practice. They were doin it as a demonstration of their mastery. Mad respect for French tennis players.
I remember there was that ridiculous like 52 shot rally between Djokovic and nadal in the 2012 final which was insane to watch
Meanwhile covid pandemic started and finished too
by the time they finished the rally, most of the grandpas in the crowd were slumped over, dead from covid...........
After having watched the highlights of the AUS17 Fedal match, this looks like in slow motion, lol
Im even exhausted watching this!
i am sure there was not any replay
Djokovic x Zverev US open 2021:
Hold my beer
That was nice to see it again even in 2021, thanks all!
People who think this is a bad rally, remember that A.) it's hot out, it's the Aussie summer B.) it's a lot faster than you could ever hit
It's an amazing rally, 72 shots, unheard of. These guys are top 20 in the world. No juniors could get a rally this long if they tried
"it's a lot faster than you could ever hit" Well, that's an assumption. This rally was not impressive.
71 shots
Mad respect bro
Bruv 2 girls under 14 got 243 shots the rally took like 10 mins, maybe not in this speed but any junior could do it easily
'Its a lot faster than you could ever hit' this is a blind assumption. You only have to walk into a tennis club to see amateurs hitting as hard as this. As someone who has been playing this sport seriously for 13 years i would be pretty disappointed if i coulsnt hit the ball much harder than this.
Simon has some of the most fluid ground strokes on tour i love his backhand not a ton of power but great placement.
I counted 71 strokes- amazing!
72
@@laovorba6686 73
The phrase "push to the limit" takes on a new meaning when these guys are playing. I knew Simon was a pusher....but this is just something else.
Wow! That's crazy!
What is crazy?
I swear Monfils has the craziest and most entertaining points.
2019 and still watching this
Legend has it, they're still rallying today
The first half is just like "Hit the ball somewhere else you god damn assholes!"
This is the definitive Pusher battle.
Metatron Jr. this is not pushing
@@Johnny-cz2wv Yes it is.
This is the definition of pushing.
@@Johnny-cz2wv This is hardcore pushing.
You may complain about quality but may be that's more strategy. Monfils is extremely fit and agile and even he struggled to recover from that rally. Simon absorbed all the big shots, sucked everything out of him before giving it back and winning it. Simon also won this match it in five sets 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 1-6, 8-6
Legend has it, the Official dozed off & almost fell out his chair during this rally.
Came across this again and it was actually a pretty solid point. Both mostly kept the ball deep and tried to be aggressive when a ball was shorter, both changed direction occasionally, both moved well.
No lol they could've been running a drill for the first 65 shots. They didn't start playing until after that
Imagine hitting the ball this slowly and still grunting on every shot
John Jones because you're only watching , these shots are actually about 60 kph but it seems slow because they can hit it faster.
@@Youba05 lol you do realise that 60kph is 37 mph?😂 thats slow af. I dont know how hard i hit the ball but if it wasnt faster than 37mph i woukd quit tennis rn
Two talented guys who are always very casual with their game
When the ball comes faster, one or two strokes in a row, the point is done. Both are not good enough to hold a difficult level over more than a few shots. Nadal and Djoko had a high class rally where every shot was great and it was 54 strokes rally 2013 US open
When RUclips commenters make upb for the video content
I started watching this...fell asleep and 8 hours later they were still playing this point! 🤣
Looks like they were really enjoying hitting these shots and never wanted it to end 😂
Well, I'll never get those 2 minutes of my life back.
Simon always plays so safe and defensive and it feels like he never puts any power behind his swings. I could never watch a full match with this guy. At least Monfils does some risky and unorthodox things sometimes.
It's not about taking more risks than your opponent, it's about playing better tennis than your opponent.
Some players have made great careers (incl. Slams) by playing defensive-looking tennis. Never great to watch, but accumulated titles nevertheless. Wilander, Chang come to mind in recent times.
it looks like simon is having a warmup with monfils looking at his forehand lol
Simon was hitting it weaker than my warm up buddies😂
Just watched a video from AO 12 final and then watched this. Their groundstrokes made this look like an under-13 rally
Priyansh Agrawal me too, Nadal and Djokovic hitting rocket shots to each other and here we have really slow tennis it seems
In the 5th set they were still hitting twice as hard as these guys lmao
Strange, I thought someone was trying to imitate my warmup sessions
A legend says they are still playing
Legend has it that the rally never ended
I've realized it now, Medvedev is just a bigger and stronger version of Simon
Ironically, he is 0-3 against Simon.
Do you still think so?
TL:DR; they made contact with the ball 72 times in total
lmfaoo thanks i was sent to watch and count all of the shots taken for pe class
😂
Mid-way, I thought this is one of those prank videos which never end.
Australian Open is where all the action is! Australian Open is my favourite Grand Slam tournament!
I remeber the rally. It was extremely hot and both of them had 5 set matches before this one. They both were so exhausted that the balls they played could have been faster propelled by the wind ...
Meanwhile the earth has grown, every boy becomes a man, the universe explodes, a new universe is created, and the whole cycle repeats.
that sweet sound of the tennis racket hitting the ball is so soothing.....
What a consistency WOW!
Well if not the longest deinitely the most boring one
When my mate and I try to rally for as many shots as possible, we normally get to about 5...
It’s so funny to me to hear the slight groans of effort from each individual played just going back and forth 😂😂😂
watching the reffs head go back and forth hundred times more then im watching the game lol
Simon was ready to go. He was vertical right away while his opponent was still gasping. I envy that stamina.
If you set the speed of the video at +1.5, you actually see a Grand Slam rally at the pace it needs to be ;)
This is what you call a friendly game of warm up.
Monfils was like 5 balls into that rally and he be like this is satisfying
I sympathize with the judge for having to watch this.
He will keep shaking his head even at his grave
Federer would have ended this in 3 rallies tops. I think cause they were same country men they wanted to help each other out.
About Me 😂😂
About Me Even when I play doubles badminton for fun I hate very short rallies cause I'm not getting enough exercise so I will extend the rally and tire out my opponents and then finish off with a winner.
They are in the same country (France), but they both had also injuries
No way yellow shirt is French lmao
Τζακυνθος Φριτοπουλος ??? he is french from africa
Wow!!!! Lovely!! I am a Cricket fan but I found this one very pleasing!! I got pleasure after watching this!!
I just wanted to hear the funny sounds they make😂😂
Monfils' forehand at 1:50 was incredible. If he had gone a little more for the line he'd have won.
It was hard but there was no angle.
I mean it landed right in the middle haha
It was a very regular on the run forehand.
Simon's shot literally a second before was clearly far better, but whatever.
Rhaegar Targaryen he meant that is the only nice shot
Rally so long, commentators went to sleep.
God damn that must be so fun though rallying like that 🤣
Watching this rally is like watching a gameplay of Tennis World Tour
Monfil hit the same back hand for most of the shots. Boring rally
During that rally I read atleat 30 something comments..
You check out the rallies from Nadal and Federer on wimbledon and every shot is magical. This is practicing
so smooth
thank god they slowed down the courts to get rid of that boring as hell serve and volley! these groundstroke battles are so incredibly skillfull, full of tension and interesting to watch!
95% of tennis players couldn’t keep a rally this long even if they intentionally TRIED
Really, I once did a 524 ball rally at practice once, we were trying though.
Just wondering when the WHISPERS would start.
This is a great rally, Gilles Simon returned most shot very close to Gael Monfils so Gael would go for power and use up more energy, Gilles Simon intention was to keep the rally going to wear out he's opponent, which clearly worked, game over
this is a training not a match
