Wait...so could they theoretically play for ALL ETERNITY?
Well, in five billion years the sun will start to go nova, causing the seas to boil off, making things rather humid. Next, the ball would melt....
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No, it isn't that bad. The warming of the sun will result in the depletion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere wiping out all macro life-forms in about 500 million years.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am so in love with both these guys, it's not even funny. And the Guardian blogger, of course.

Yeah, but we'll have orbiting satellites to deflect the excess solar output by then. But I suppose if the game is still going on in 500 million years they can just have the satellites reflect a bunch of solar energy onto the Wimbledon court....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Nah, there'll be plans to do it, but they'll never get built. People on holographic comment threads will still be claiming it's a massive hoax by the money grubbing heavy-lift space elevator industry when the end comes.
