i don't hate it at 12-12 but the final needs to be exempt

i'm okay with this. wonder if AO & RG follow. also wonder if USO goes from 6-6 to 12-12. ITF could make a slam rule, too.

even if it happens with irregularity, why would you allow it to happen at all? it happens. isner went 18-16 once.

if it happens, it has the same effect as it does at other slams -- fucks up the players for the next round, fucks with scheduling.

i guess.

now that i think about it, i might prefer 6-6 to 12-12. i still hate the idea that the second player to serve has to hold or die for 7-straight games.

at 6-6 maybe they should switch it off like a 1-2-2-2-2-.... system like a tiebreaker, that way the players alternate between hold or die.

btw, do the stats prove that the 2nd server has a disadvantage? i cant remember if ive seen accurate stats.

i really dislike 6-6. a tight fifth set should have the chance to be decided in regular fashion. at 12-12 that's a six set match and it's time for last resort measures to put it out of its misery.

i disagree. i think they have a better advantage playing out a set. think of a match w a top player who is a good returner like djoker vs a big server like isner. easier a great returner like djoker to play well under the pressure of a TB score and score one mini-break and put pressure on a guy like isner to choke. also, easier for isner to continually hold in a long marathon 5th set and not tire himself out.
