The idea of remixing another person's YTP video can be supposedly traced back as early as April of 2007, when dvariano uploaded a video called "Elated Chronological Junctures" that was supposedly the first [[repoop]] video, and thus considered to be technically the first "Round 2" ever made. However the original video that he edited, made by a user named bahbugandhum (known now in that a number of the sources he used started completely unknown but would find niches in many places in the years to come), has yet to be found again.

As someone who took YTP seriously enough to consider it genuine art at that time, the equation to put together the tennis format with video, especially YTP, seemed to be a natural one for him to make.

From this match onward the concept greatly expanded to great -  and at the beginning considerably unimaginable - lengths of development and refinement.
