The general concept of this match has roots in an idea that {{RabbitSnore}} conceived for a new variant of tennis in November 2008, following his attendance at a local jazz concert. In line with traditional jazz improvisation, Rabbit considered undertaking what he described as "something like having a video jam session, with really long videos." He went as far as to produce an unrefined set of rules for this variant:

Round 1's title "When Did You First Learn About Tennis?" comes verbatim from a [[YouChew]] thread title of the same name in the Tennis subforum, created by PokeFire50 on December 22, 2009. A lengthy silent segment of this round additionally involves {{GameBop}}'s "Sid is NOT A BATTLE AXE"(2009), their [[GameBop vs. AjaxCubed|Round 1 with AjaxCubed]] and well identified as one of Mycro's all-time favorite YTPs, being progressively edited over via "veg replacement" and recursive "recycling" inside of GameBop's project file for "ROBOTNIK PURCHASES THE OTHER HALF"(2008), their [[InsinerateHymn vs. zacheatscrackers vs. GameBop|Round 12 with InsinerateHymn and zacheatscrackers.]] Various edited samples from the former video continue to show up in later parts of the serve in addition. Ashcrement's response, a defining representation of his early tennis style, includes the addition of images of the Pokemon Snorlax, followed by a series of edits that shape layers of video into a rough image of a Jolteon before then morphing into a similar rough image of a Snorlax, similar to techniques recently executed by {{Moogle}} in a similar fashion.

While initially received with great notice due to the many boundaries broken in just these two rounds in addition to a radically new language of approach being experimented with in tennis, MycroProcessor vs. AshcrementVII has subsequently retreated into a more obscure yet fascinating curiosity of a "match that could have been" due to it never properly progressing past this point and subsequently being eclipsed by the achievements of similar long form improvisational matches that followed in its wake. The rounds made continue to survive in their original uploads.
