Roger Federer has recently expressed the opinion that it was a pity that the latter stages of Masters ATP1000 are not played on a best-of-5 sets format like it was in the past. Novak Djokovic disagrees with that.

Why Nole disagreed with Roger

After beating Adrian Mannarino in Cincinnati, the Serb expressed his disagreement with Federer to say “I actually heard him speak about it, he said best of five he would make it.

I am against that. I would have even Grand Slams best of three.

This new generation of tennis fans and Millennials, they don’t have a great attention span, and they want things to happen very quickly.

So, for the players as well and to attract more people and viewers of a younger audience, we have to keep tennis matches dynamic and shorter.”
