This was the second match to be played by NS2 and the fifth match to be played by Crash2991<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1#post-934751</ref><ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/14 While Crash's roster lists the first three matches in chronological order, the inclusion of RabbitSnore in the middle (his 13th match played) can potentially throw off uneducated viewers of his old roster. This page of the old Tennis: Completed section shows the matches he played with Luioigi, NS2 and RAK in order; his fourth, fifth and sixth matches played.</ref>. It was one of the final matches played during the "Vanilla" era of the YouChew forums, with the Vanilla forums becoming shut down only five days after this match completed and replaced with fresh new forum software under RabbitSnore and TINS. As such, this became one of 25 matches to occur during the Vanilla era chosen for inclusion in the new Tennis: Archives subforum, with a new thread being created for it there in late May 2008.

The match was listed among the "Top 5 Good Tennis games to learn from" in the revised version of ''The Recreational Guide To Video Tennis'' in October 2025,<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-revised-recreational-guide-to-video-tennis.1963/</ref> and was the first chosen match when the Tennis Cafe thread on [[YellowTealPurple]] began its regular [[Match of the Day]] program in November 2025.
