How embarrassing, his opinions on tennis are so shit. What an utter joke, he should just shut up lol
Murray wants Slams to become BO3 because that way more players would play doubles and b/c BO5 is too long to watch as a fan

Yes, many top players would probably play doubles as well, using their singles rankings, while doubles specialists will not be able to enter the draw because pathetic players in doubles like Djokovic, for example, want to have some fun. What an idiot.

Oh, and I forgot. Of course he wants BO3, being bullied around by Nishioka for about 5 hours is not fun, I get it.

Admittedly, I would prefer to avoid watching 5 sets of a Murray match, and the whole thing if possible.
I wouldn't be so sure. There was the Wimbledon final, Cricket World Cup final and Silverstone. God, what a day of sport that was, with Wimbledon and the cricket going right down to the wire.
I was supporting Djokovic and England and both looked very much like losing but they miraculously won. The only downside was that Hamilton won, but you can't win them all.
For me, I doubt that day of sport will ever be topped.

No one cares about doubles. So that argument is invalid. I mean look at the doubles forum here. Theres like 3 people posting
As smart as I think Murray normally is, this is a clear fallacy. BO5 can be boring, but that goes for BO3 as well.
By changing the scoring system (sets to 4 instead of 6), a fundamental difference between men's and women's tennis will be solved.
And no, I'm not a supporter of gender neutral thinking all day long, but tennis should adapt to a modern way of thinking in this respect. Compared with dozens of other (global) sports, tennis still uses different formats at the most important events and I'm sure the governing bodies want to get rid of this.

absolutely agree with him.
i'm all for Bo3 in 1-4R in Slams, only benefits from it
Tennis losing its audience rapidly. I bet 99% percent of Gen Z don't even know how Federer, Djokovic or Nadal looks. Because the sport stinks with its archaic long matches and non-dynamic play. For example, 40% of original time of Dull's matches is preparation to the serve with scratching ass and sniffing fingers. Honestly, who wants to watch it? And who has a time for it? It's the worst advertisement of tennis ever. And this guy is so-called GOAT. Lol.
Also sets need to be shorter (best of 9 games instead of best 13), so there will be much more important points in a set.
Some eSports noname nerds now more popular than legends of one of the biggest sports. That's because this sport stuck in the mid-70s.

I lked and like Andy. But since the injury its a pain to watch. The reitiring scen, then coming back.
I know he still had a few season of top level play. But he wasnt ready for a decline so rapidly. Most sports athletes arent.
Here its even worst. A hand or arm or leg or foot would be recoverable. Even a knee jurgery. But hip? Thats a death sentence in any sport.
He should retire in Wimby and have a great life. Every time he plays a match its going to cost him dearly in the future with pain anc aches.
Its not worth it if you are not in contention.
