Table Tennis Players Engage in Epic 10-Minute Rally

Sometimes, the best offense in table tennis is a good defense.

Li Jie and Hitomi Sato embarked upon an epic and seemingly endless rally during the first round of a Qatar Open match Thursday.

Neither player was willing to take a significant risk in an attempt to win the single point, and thus the rally went on for an incredible 10 minutes, 13 seconds. Perhaps even more remarkable is that play was only stopped when an outside ball interfered with the action.

Try replicating this feat in your basement the next time you and a buddy have an extra 10 minutes to spare.
