That seems like a good compromise between the US Open's final set tiebreak and the traditional win by two games rule. Kind of with the US Open would switch to this too.

I dunno. It kinda reminds me of when the boxing championship distance was reduced from 15 rounds to 12.

Yes. With only two days to recover between a semi-final and final, a six hour slug fest in a semi final means the survivor is incapable of performing at anything like their best. When Isner and Mahut played their 11 hour marathon Isner’s feet weren’t just blistered, the blisters had burst and then chafed so much he had blood all over the inside of his shoes.

The tennis professional associations all need to agree on a single standard for match tiebreakers.

Women get paid more per hour than the men do at Wimbledon. Is this the ‘equality’ feminazis are talking about?
