What if GS F would be BO7?

[Gato]

Would it be more interesting? Tennis marathon? or SF would be BO7 and final BO9?

 

[Standaa]

 

[Plamen1234]

Final BO9 - No way.Most tennis player wont be able to survive physically this match.Some players have problem with BO5 imagine for BO7 or B09.Plus who would want to watch so long matches

 

[sarmpas]

Did Nadal put you up to this? How much he pay you?

 

[Deleted member 756486]

The emotional part of me is saying that this would be a genius idea because Zverev would never win a slam but the logical part of me realizes that this is a terrible idea.

 

[Gato]

Isner and Mahut could do it

I mean when final is 6:1 6:2 6:1 in 90 minutes it's kind of quick.. it could be a little longer.. but if players would be equally strong then match could be very long

 

[George Turner]

NINE SETS OF THIS OMG!!

 

[tennis_pro]

BO9 yeah

Nadal blnt Anderson 6-1 6-3 6-2 6-1 6-2

 

[ojo rojo]

I've supported this idea for some time.

BO7 - winner fights a bear

No player can play at a high intensity level for 9 sets, it’s impossible.

Unless you’re John Cena of course, then nothing is impossible.

And Isner with Mahut

Bored? Now go play outside.

They would just have to train harder

 

[li0scc0]

One thing this would do is encourage quicker strike tennis.

Was raining today, tuesday is my next match

 

[Ronaldo]

BO9 and no tie-breaks. No seats either. Make em stand

 

[Standaa]

If he have the BO9 format for men, make it the same for women

#equality

 

[Ronaldo]

#equality

#MeToo just became the #HellNo movement

 

[Rafa's OCD]

very funny

for the men, I'm in favor of BO3 for all rounds except the final, which remains a BO5.

women stay BO3

 

[AiRFederer]

Ned will have 50 slams

 

[True Fanerer]

Horrible idea, but still better than women Bo5.

 

[Mack-2]

What an idea. I’m excited to see what threads you create tomorrow

Maybe in the future players will be much more physical so they would play B09. I can't imagine Isner and Mahut with B07, let alone B09.

That ad was and still is a classic.

Only way it would work is some Frankenstein invention. Like the ATP NEXTGEN with no Ads and tiebreak at 4-4.

Logically speaking, absence of emotion is better than absence of logic.

Every great invention ever made required the former but not necessarily the latter.

 

[Sunny014]

Great concept.

On Clay Nadal would bulldoze the whole field, his body will last 7 sets but others won't.

On Grass since it is quick work of the serve, Federer would still prevail, Sampras would too, they won't have trouble picking 4 sets.

On HCs this is tricky.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Bring back BO5 final for WTF and masters.
That's all I want, gentleman.

No beers on the change of ends. Spirits only. Grain alcohol at the USO, gin at WB, cognac at RG, cumquat liqueur at the AO.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

So, it was bad enough trying to convince people to let me watch tennis, when I shared a TV with people, for five sets. Seven? I guess it's more common now not to share screens in a house, but not everyone will be in that situation.

 

[ADuck]

Lol

 

[MadariKatu]

Imagine AO 2012 final if it were to Bo7... I would enjoy that. But it makes absolutely no sense at all. Everybody would end up injured. Plus many boring matches would seem to have no end.

 

[boredone3456]

The trend over the years has been moving toward shorter matches, not longer ones...so no

Eww.

 

[King No1e]

Nah. BO5 is the gold standard. BO5 without a 5th set TB for Slams, and with a 5th set tiebreak for WTF finals and USO.

 

[MadariKatu]

Eww.

hahaha what can I say... I loved that match. Not so the result.

 

[Sunny014]

Tennis needs a 5th Slam now, 4 are very less.

Or else Big 3's records won't be broken, the WTF should be upgraded to best of 5 and it should be the 5th slam, preferably bring back carpets or produce a even faster and lower bounce surface that it already it, it should be lightning fast.

[Lleytonstation]

So passive. This is what bothers some people about Djokers game.

 

[Start da Game]

no player would have the time or patience for such lengthy formats.........forget about audiences in this fast paced world........just be glad that bo5 is still on in slams at least with tiebreak in the last set........
