My "Grand Plan" to Shorten 3-Set Matches by 30 Minutes❗

Folks of all great tennis hamlets, hear me now, for I have crawled out of my secluded high Alpine hut once again!!
I come forth to proclaim, that after conferring with my faithful mule Molisa, I have a plan which will be perfect for
any tournament held in 90° temperatures. Think of the time wasted by a player walking to the side to use a towel.
Molisa advises me that it wastes 1 minute each game, 10 minutes each set, and finally, 30 long minutes a match!!
In my thoughts of lost time, I started to remember that some football players, like Jerry Rice, had their own towel.

After consulting with Molisa and Boris the bear, my mind has been illuminated!! I suddenly realized that we need to
send those big towels to the ol' jacuzzi dump of history. What I proclaim now, is that each player will carry his own
12" by 12" small towel in his pocket. There will be no more wasted time of walking to the sideline for a giant towel.
Have no fear, ol' Nadal fans. At each changeover, a new dry towel can replace the old one. Simple logic,... abounds!
------ So Be It ⚜ ------
 
Get a life. Do you even watch pro tennis?!
Have you seen how much some players sweat?!
They are not your slaves for entertainment.
They are athletes. Human beings even!!!
If you can't handle that then go back to your streaming services and binge watch whatever new cool show is on.

I dislike rallying with more than 2 balls in my pocket. Couldnt imagine rallying with a 12x12 towel in the other pocket.

If time is a concern, I would just subtract 10-15 seconds from the serve clock if a player walks to use a towel.

Imagine the issues with this. How many fall out during play. Hindrance. It will still take time for them to take it out and use it and then put it back.

Imagine Rafa with a towel before serving. Add another minute.

Okay, okay,...exceptions will be made. Rafa will be allowed to keep in his pocket, a genuine bull leatherette chamois!!
(Only TheLeadMaster will ever notice the difference!!) Attention tournament...carry on!! The athletes are waiting!!

Have a countdown timer on a big screen, counting down from 2 hours.

If the match is still ongoing after 2 hours, release the hounds!

Yes, I now behold the future so clearly before my eyes. My thoughts of a grand revolution in "match time"
will be scuttled without mercy. I'll be highly encouraged to live forevermore in Shameville, with bowed head.
Then, when the truly inauspicious moment overcome me, someone from the village will put a sign above me,
