A couple of teenagers in Missoula, Montana supposedly participated in the longest tennis match in the history of the world: something longer than 60 hours. According to the local newspaper, the Missoulian, the teenagers, Sam Angel and Katie Martens, played their game in order to raise $7,000 for the Watson’s Children Shelter, for part of their senior year projects.
That’s great and it’s quite honestly very difficult to argue with raising money for a children’s shelter, but what’s honestly going on here? The one quote in the article from Sam Angel is only this: “I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm really tired, I'm tired." Right. The article goes on to elaborate about Sam and his Father: “Ray Angel, Sam's father, noticed that his son was making no sense verbally and wasn't responding well physically around dinnertime Sunday. In fact, neither he nor Katie were doing well.[…]’They hit a wall. For a while, Sam just stopped and let the tennis balls hit off of him.’”
So you’re telling us that two teens played tennis for almost three straight days, to the point of what seems like complete mental collapse and physical failure? Awesome – congrats, ya’ll!
