May 5 (UPI) -- The founder of a table tennis club in Britain unofficially broke a Guinness World Record when he faced 117 consecutive opponents in a single rally.

The Brighton Table Tennis Club previously attempted the world record in 2018, but fell short.

Evidence from Xu's attempt is being submitted to Guinness for official recognition. The current record of 112 opponents was set by Keith Knox of the Ormeau Table Tennis Club in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The Brighton Table Tennis Club said in a Facebook post that it hopes the Ormeau Table Tennis Club will accept the challenge and break the record again.
