Novak Djokovic Disagrees With Roger Federer's 5-Set Rule Proposal

New name for Joe Kovic is NoBof5vack Joe Kovic.

What a djok to suggest slams go Bof3. They did that for early rounds to varying degrees at all the slams except Wimbledon during the mid-70's and it was a bust. Don't make the same mistake twice, please.

Simple solution it to go to Milan rules or a slightly longer variation (play tiebreakers at 4 all) and got to best of five sets. That would probably be superior to the current three set format (as in best player more likely to win). A whole lot more exciting. Once that's in place maybe the slams might have ideas. A step in the right direction would be to play tiebreakers at 5 all. Not a big change since set scores would be 6-4 and 6-5 in place of 7-5 and 7-6.

The traditional format is best of five with no breakers for any of the sets. People against change now have already supported change from the original format of the game. Going back to best of five for all tennis matches with the other rules changes is actually closer to the original game than the current three set format.

Good Gawd, no!!! Milan is the worst thing that has happened to tennis EVER!!!

Just speed up the surfaces then there wouldn't be a problem but the "problem" like someone else said is a manufactured problem.
