Novak Djokovic Proposes Shorter Sets and No-Ad Scoring for Tennis Matches
Novak Djokovic has proposed changes to tennis scoring, suggesting sets be shortened to four games with no-ad scoring while maintaining best-of-five matches at Grand Slams. He argues this would make matches shorter, easier to follow, and more appealing to younger audiences, without losing the drama and tactical depth of major tournaments. Djokovic believes these adjustments could benefit players, broadcasters, and fans amid growing competition from other sports like padel and pickleball.
