If you could change one rule in tennis what would it be and why?

In the grand slams men, 2 out of 3 sets through the round of 16, then 3 out of 5 for quarters thru final.

No Add Duece

Its about time for tennis to let go of the "let call". Just like what they do in college let the play continue even when the serve hit the tip of the net. I remember long ago they already had discussions about this and even said that they will try them in some smaller tournaments but somehow it never happened.

Implement lucky loser in all rounds, not just main draw entry. Walkovers are bad for ticket buyers and champions should win the required number of matches, not benefit from walkovers.

I totally agree that GRUNTING should be BANNED. It's ridiculous and players like Sabalenka go way overboard. It's not fair on the opponent who is usually quiet. In one of her last matches, she got called for a Hinderance. I was happy to see that, it was ridiculous. They have discipline for every other part of their game, they should be made to stop it.

Only one service should be allowed, as all the other strokes are. The players should focus on each shot 100%, no reason to favor the serve above the others. You can still repeat the serve if it's a let.

Ban grunting!

Absolutely. It is so annoying and it has to be off-putting for the opponent.

Because of all the close calls, especially Djokovic in this Slam. Something needs to be done for the umpires so they can enforce the rules. Djokovic didn’t even get a warning. That’s why these incidents continue. Horrible sportsmanship. No role model even for his kids.

A warning for what?

Do not cheer and clap when a player loses the point by committing an unforced error, Cheer and clap when a point is clearly won. That is how I learn tennis.

stuartperry4mo ago

Totally agree. It's called sportsmanship.

I would get rid of the LET call. It holds up the game. If it goes over the net and the opponent gets it and scores, oh well, that's the game.
