It completely shatters the rewarding feeling of fighting tooth-and-nail for 20+ minutes to come out the victor by a tiny margin. It makes for very shallow gameplay for most matches because there isn&#8217;t enough time to feel like you are developing a good strategy against your opponent.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Generally speaking, this naturally goes against what tennis is all about. Long and hard battles on the court where the stronger and smarter mind can often win.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you make of all this commotion?
