Two months ago, I looked at the record and it was 3h and 3minutes, i was very impressive.
But when i get to 4 set tiebreak and a unbelivebale 5th set, i was so happy ,i had bitten the record for about more than 2h40min !
When I think that i had two match points at 6/5 in the final set i was so ungry.
And after the match I saw the score of 5h !!!
It was funny when i saw that the final score was exacly the same as me but with two more games.
But the time was longer.
And I can't play online because i have a Mac.
And also we have to say the creater of scoreboard to fix the bug when you get to 10/10 in games.
Well thank you guys and see you soon for the highlights. :D :applause:

If my calculation are right.
The match would have been taken 17 h and 13min in real life
Could you please tell me how to get the real statistics of the match like ATPexpert did please ?

It is very strange because I have bitten the record from about 41 minutes and in the "real" time they said that I beat it from 40 sec

I think the time is bugged.I don't understand how can this match be 42 minutes longer than mine,if I played 4 longer tiebreaks than you.So I think this real time is right(14:41) ,and the simulated time is wrong(it should be around 5 hours just like mine).

No but look at the number of points. I have a total of 1466 points and you a total of 1309.
I played 157 points more than you so it is possible.

I think perhaps it is because the calculation for real time will differentiate for differnt surfaces.
One of you guys was playing it on clay and another one was playing it on grass. So it makes the difference perhaps.

But still 784 points finished after less then 5 strokes.That's half of the total points.

A little note : in real tennis, players spend in average about 5 or 6 minutes per hour playing tennis ; the rest is waiting & resting time.
It's more or less same for TE simulated time : it adds time after each point, and longer time after end of game & end of set.
So the total number of points is very important for the total time.

Thus said, in the current context with our 2 contenders, I think the very high number of aces plays a big part in lowering the time of ATPexpert's match and explain the discrepancy of real/simulated time ratio with Arvin97's match. Arvin97 also got more long rallies. Lastly, maybe ATPexpert waits more before serving than Arvin97 which can play a noticeable part in the real time.

PS: I recall "real time" = the time spent playing in your real life on your chair in front of your PC ;) ; "simulated time" = the approximate time the match would have lasted on a real court

I don't wait at all before the serve,I just smash it straight away :D But it's true,a lot of points in my match were ended after the serve.
