The WTA reportedly wants to add excitement to the women's game by experimenting with more but shorter sets. The men will decide in March if they want to try something similar. Sets would be won with five games, tiebreaks would be shorter, and the fifth set would be restricted to a tiebreak or the first to reach 10 points. WTA officials will put the suggestion to the rules committee of the International Tennis Federation in the next few months, the Daily Telegraph of London reported. One goal of the proposal is to achieve consistency in the length of matches, making them more television-friendly.
Tennis matches are often difficult for commercial programs to fit into program schedules.
