Tennis is largely a far cry from other sports in terms of fan interaction. It will take time to be instigated at the top level of tennis, but given that many fans, especially the younger generation, feel that tennis is too slow, these new rules should be in contention to start at the Challenger Tour or the ATP 250 levels. Only a few years ago was a time where major tournaments didn’t have 5th-set tiebreaks, instead opting for a continuation of the 5th set until a player wins two straight games. 10 short years ago was the end of the carpet courts on the ATP Tour, a major fixture of tennis in the 20th century. Tennis, like many sports, has endured rule changes throughout its long history. The big question: Will these rules ever make its way into sanctioned tennis? If the quarter ends in a tie, a tiebreaker point will be played. Rule #3: If the clock runs out in the middle of the point, the point continues on. It’s likely that the serve clock will still be used so that helps the pace of play to remain high and players to have to fight for every point and not preserve their leads. If it isn’t, the leading player can waste time on their serve in order to preserve the lead. The biggest factor here is if the serve clock of 25 seconds will still be used in this format. It also allows players to fight for every point because, in this scenario, every point counts. It’s a good format in terms of speeding up the pace of play. The players with the most points at the end of the quarter wins the quarter. Here, players will serve twice alternatively (the same format used for 7-point tiebreaks). Playing into the quarter format, Mouratoglou has used the points system to determine the winner of the match. The player with the most points won at the end of the quarter wins the quarter. Rule #2: Players serve twice alternatively. The vision here is to speed up the game of tennis, and with matches taking upwards of 4 or 5 hours for men through 5 sets, a 40-minute match certainly speeds up the pace of play.
This is, of course, vastly different from what is in place now in tennis. There is too much downtime with not enough happening…”. He’s expressed his desire to speed up the game of tennis, saying recently: “I think the format of tennis is too long. Instead of playing in best-of-5 or best-of-3 format, Mouratoglou has instigated a four-quarter system with each quarter taking ten minutes. The first big change in the UTS is the overall format of match play. Rule #1: Matches are played in 4 quarters of 10 minutes each Could these rules make its way into sanctioned tournaments?.If it makes sense to change based on Mouratoglou’s vision.How it differs from the current rule in place.
