Ponty Posted 23 June, 2010 Share Posted 23 June, 2010 It's about time they brought in the fifth set tie break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge too far Posted 23 June, 2010 Share Posted 23 June, 2010 It's about time they brought in the fifth set tie break. They're going to have to do something. This match was started yesterday and stopped for bad light. If it stops for bad light again today the winner won't be able to play the next round match due tomorrow. 53 all as I type.

jawillwill Posted 23 June, 2010 Share Posted 23 June, 2010 It's about time they brought in the fifth set tie break. No its not. This is one of the things which makes tennis a great sport....it's not exactly like it happens often, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 23 June, 2010 Share Posted 23 June, 2010 No its not. This is one of the things which makes tennis a great sport....it's not exactly like it happens often, is it? Tennis is not a great sport. Also, I doubt those two players agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawillwill Posted 23 June, 2010 Share Posted 23 June, 2010 Tennis is the 3rd greatest sport behind football and squash. And boo hoo if they don't like it. Surely the prize money for getting into the next round is enough incentive for them to "work" a 6 hour day (or however long they've been on court today) for a change.

Saint_clark Posted 23 June, 2010 Share Posted 23 June, 2010 Tennis is not a great sport. Also, I doubt those two players agree with you. Well Isner didn't want to stop playing, and he looked like the more tired of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bungle Posted 24 June, 2010 Share Posted 24 June, 2010 Isn't it only Wimbledon that doesn't have the 5th set tiebreak? I'm not much into tennis, but has to be said this match is rather amazing. Don't need nobs like Ponty around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiesaint Posted 24 June, 2010 Share Posted 24 June, 2010 Decent blog by Tom Fordyce on the BBC site about the game.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tomfordyce/2010/06/maraat.html Hadn't realised Mahut was the guy who beat Alex Bogdanovic 24-22 in the final set in the final round of qualifying.

Hatch Posted 25 June, 2010 Share Posted 25 June, 2010 Mahut will have played more games than the eventual winner will have done. Can you imagine two women playing this match!! They would be demanding double pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northant Saint Posted 26 June, 2010 Share Posted 26 June, 2010 Tennis is not a great sport. Also, I doubt those two players agree with you. Narrow minded comment alert ^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
