After qualifying for the second round of Wimbledon, Holger Roon spoke about the rule he would give up to make tennis a more interesting sport.
Holger Roon wants the deciding point at 40-40
The Dane, who is coached by Patrick Muratoglu, said he would like to play one point in the event of a 40-40 tie.
Holger does not understand the usefulness of the advantage rule and says that tennis only wins if it is eliminated.
“If I could change one rule in tennis, it would be simple: I would give up advantages. Why do you need to win two points in a row when the tie is 40?
To make tennis more interesting, I would play one point and whoever wins it wins the game. There would be only benefit: there would be more interesting moments, there would be more tension and more spectacle.
Moreover, it will shorten the matches, which is beneficial for the fans. Such a rule would make matches much more intense” – Rune of Holgerat the press conference.
Know:
- Roon (favorite 6) plays in the second round of Wimbledon against the Iberian Roberto Carballes Baen (57 ATP).
- The advantage rule is not used in men’s, women’s or mixed doubles events (except Grand Slam tournaments).
