Wimbledon issues video challenge: "Can you watch all of Isner vs Mahut in one go?"

With professional tennis suspended till at least June 7, fans worldwide now have some free time on their hands.

The official Twitter account for the Wimbledon Championships attempted to help fans pass this time by issuing a challenge. They announced that they would be replaying the entire John Isner vs Nicolas Mahut match on their YouTube channel. Yes, THAT 2010 first-round encounter that lasted 11 hours and 5 minutes, the longest professional tennis match in history.

With the status of this summer's Wimbledon Championships uncertain, a revisit to this iconic match could help alleviate the apprehension currently being experienced by numerous fans.

This gesture garnered a mostly positive reaction, with most fans responding in a cheeky yet good-natured fashion.

Former British tennis player Anne Keothavong responded with a simple "No thanks". The official ITF Twitter page also chimed in, suggesting that some caffeine might be required to sit through the entire match.

Lasting over three days, Isner ended up winning 6–4 3–6 6–7 7–6 70–68 for a total of 183 games, the most in any tennis match.
