In the months leading up to the organization of this match, Conrad Slater had already long been a fan and participant of [[Photoshop Tennis]], which was at the time flourishing on sites such as [http://www.worth1000.com/ worth1000], [http://www.layertennis.com/ layertennis.com] and [http://photoshopcontest.com/ photoshopcontest.com].<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/56-archive/72915-poop-tennis-retrospective-the-first-match-in-history/1.html</ref> Evidence exists on the old [[YouChew]] forums of him engaging with the community in such an activity earlier in the summer of 2007. Considered to be a visionary of his generation, it was not long after that Conrad put together the natural equation of [[YouTube Poop]] as it was at the time with the context of a [[tennis]] exchange, as such an exchange with video had yet to happen on the internet. His original post asking for an opponent is occasionally remembered for its very forward thinking and casual approach to a medium that hadn't even existed before it: "I've got some time free now - althogh I should be doing poroper work - I quite fancy making a few quick rounds; 6 - rounds - 3 [videos] each. 24 hour limit per round, 3 clip addition per round, no time limit on each [video], no winner"<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/79347-1st-ever-poop-tennis-game-conradslater-vs-misselaineous10/1.html#post-3273854</ref> | In the months leading up to the organization of this match, Conrad Slater had already long been a fan and participant of [[Photoshop Tennis]], which was at the time flourishing on sites such as [http://www.worth1000.com/ worth1000], [http://www.layertennis.com/ layertennis.com] and [http://photoshopcontest.com/ photoshopcontest.com].<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/56-archive/72915-poop-tennis-retrospective-the-first-match-in-history/1.html</ref> Evidence exists on the old [[YouChew]] forums of him engaging with the community in such an activity earlier in the summer of 2007.

<small>"It's fascinating how the first match with Conrad and Miss10 set precedents that largely remain adhered to. Video titles are generally still in concert with each other, rounds are still often between 1 and 2 minutes long, and there are a lot of final rounds running around that function as pseudo-musical montages."</small><ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-on-the-ground-floor-of-the-hotel-tennis.30/post-43771</ref> | <small>"It's fascinating how the first match with Conrad and Miss10 set precedents that largely remain adhered to.

The match has been referenced many times throughout | That same year, a returned {{strong414bad}} referred to the match as one of his all time favorites, describing it as: | ||
<small>"...truly special, and nothing since has matched the way watching it unfold live change my view of what was even possible in Tennis. A lot of matches go straight to 11 and then struggle to find anywhere else to go, which is extremely fun, but this is just perfect escalation from start to finish, ratcheting the intensity every round. (....) Each round felt like it was unlocking new techniques and new ways of thinking that hadn't been considered before, and that's because they all were. Goosebumps."</small><ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/your-favorite-tennis-matches.394/post-50958</ref> | |||
The match was listed as a favorite additionally by Nineroe, and has been referenced many times throughout the subsequent history of tennis. Round 2 of this match, Misselaoneous10's "You wouldn't be angry"(2007), was one of the 33 Round 2's sampled in {{GameBop}}'s Round 1 with {{Sploltoen}} and {{MycroProcessor}} in the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]], [[GameBop vs. Sploltoen vs. MycroProcessor|"Seconds, Anyone?" (2010)]]; it was further sampled in {{Moogle}}'s Round 1 of the [[Tennis Staff Multi Way]], "What, do you want me to play with your tail?" (2009), in {{dani_phantump}}'s Round 4 with CaptainStringCheese (2012), in {{mrdoognoog}}'s round 4 vs. {{fiv95}} (2021), and in {{TheChutley}}'s Round 1 with {{Veritylarsen}}(2025). The match remains fully preserved; Conrad's rounds were privated for many years before being made public again in late 2025 in anticipation of the documentary "The World of Youtube Poop" by Clique Here, in which he is prominently featured. Misselaineous10 deleted her account in 2018, but subsequently reuploaded all of her video output in 2019 onto her little known alt account Sashimisushi; her account was also archived by DKL3 in 2016 allowing better quality copies of all her videos to be preserved. The match was first compiled into a single video on the official tennis archive channel {{YouWouldBeWelcome}}, which was named as an inverse to Round 1 of this match, "You wouldn't be welcome", in January 2020. | |||
