    Most annoying for me is break/game point at 40-40, 4 game sets come second.


    I wrote earlier, but I'll repeat, what's the point in experimenting with formats that have no chance of being implemented in actual tour?

    Well never see this, so why do it?


    I proposed next gen finals use standard rules, aside one, namely abolishing second serve.


    I think if you need to find one, it's dullest part of tennis, players committing a serve error and then going all over again.

    I can not understand that they didn't focus on that, if they want experiments, that they found 6 or 7 game sets to be the problem, ie too long, or that Ad/deuce back and forth is what's boring in tennis?

    Just stupid imo.

    Just abolish the "Next gen" finals. That'll fix it. Experimenting and all.

    Sinner, Alcaraz, Fonseca have won it in recent years - some talent right there. Also Tsitsipas in 2018. De Minaur r/up twice, also Rublev,
    Korda, Lehecka and Fils were r/up.

    All guys who won it became top guys, even Chung (2017 champion) himself is at least known for beating Djokovic at 2018 AO.

    It's strange you first nix DC and then have to cook up artificial events
    to fill the void.

    Capitalism ...
