Do you guys prefer best of three or best of five set matches?
Both have their merits and shortcomings IMO.
Inb4 100% of you say Bo5, too.
I actually prefer best of 3. Shorter matches mean less time spent in front of the TV for me, and are just as exciting.
Best of 5 requires more endurance, but best of 3 requires the player to minimize their lapses as the match can slip away so quickly.
I like how the first set is so important in Bo3, they just seem to be shorter and sweeter matches.
I just think Bo5 is unnecessary and in 2014, when most people are too busy to spend 4-5 hours watching a tennis match, Bo3 is superior.
GS tourneys seem overly drawn out, with their alternate playing days for players, loooong Bo5 matches, and huge draws. Masters are great, nice and compact.
The one way in which Bo5 can be superior is the potential for epic matches, but epic Bo3 matches exist too (3-6 7-6 19-17 for instance).
