Yes the homage to St Potro, the patron Saint of bad luck is enough already.

Nothing, I think I will always watch tennis. Love watching the game too much.

Lol at making the men's slams best of 3. That would be super disappointing to see. I really hope that never happens. Same thing with eliminating second serve, the whole no lets on serves thing that you see in US College tennis.
Also, the abbreviated sets scoring as well. I'd be okay with it for like non points tournaments like exhos and things like that, but the whole 3-2 set scoring better not make it's way into actual ATP and ITF sanctioned matches. Then that would truly be "a digrace, an scandal, and a outrage."

If Sureshs hangs up his racquet. I mean, what could possibly top watching the master at work?

And we will all do battle to be the 90's clay of our era, except I'll be banned for 'trolling' after I keep claiming Roddick was the better player than Zverev when the latter has like 8 Slams.

And so tennis will always have an important place in my life.

Novak Djokovic breaking the slam record.
Fortunately, this is highly unlikely to occur now.

actually, when this finally happens, i'll pay my round of sangria to all of you, guys
Cycling totally sucked post doping. Only problem was Lance had too good a team and his "gear" was superior. When they cleaned it you realised that most of the guys were similar levels. It was so much fun with pantani uhlrich, indurain before them.

As others mentioned above, a high profiled post-career scandal on players like Fed, Nadal or Novak would be devastating and tragic to the sport of tennis. It could range anywhere between getting caught using anabolic steroids (e.g. Lance Armstrong), gambling (e.g. Pete Rose who bet against his own team) or the ultimate worst case scenario, which is one of them committing a severe unlawful act (e.g. OJ Simpson).
As for tennis in general:
- If they switched men's GS to best of 3
- If they were suddenly exclusive towards certain races/ethnics (e.g. when the MLB had a separate league for African Americans way back in the day)
- Lack of dominant player(s); having zero star power in the league
- If both pushers and servebots occupied the top spots
That's all I can think of atm. There could be more but tbh its gotta be a pretty terrible occurrence(s) for me to lose interest in a sport I've loved both watching and playing since my childhood days.

As others have said, best of 3 in the slams and abbreviated set scoring. I'd still watch, but it would put a sour taste in my mouth.
