The debate over whether Grand Slams should be played to the best of five or three sets is in the spotlight but in recent days, it has been rekindled with the statements of Novak Djokovic Y Rafael Nadal, among others. The Serbian has clearly positioned himself in favor of changing the format and doing it to the best of three sets, like the rest of the tournaments, while the Spanish is a firm defender of leaving everything as it is and not changing the tennis tradition of the Slams .

On our YouTube channel we have reviewed the words of Djokovic and Rafa’s opposite position, giving our opinion on the matter. Nole bases his opinion on the fact that young people today do not spend three, four or five hours in front of television to watch a tennis match and that they should be given a more attractive and dynamic format, in addition to arguing that a study ensures that the average age of the tennis public is 61 years. Is this really so? We discussed it in our new video on the channel. ¡Dale al Play!
What could be done to bring tennis closer to young people?
The ATP has already launched several projects such as the launch of a Twitch channel with Gael Monfils as host and with assistants such as Andy Murray, bringing other tennis players as guests. In this way, they bring tennis closer to young people through these platforms. Anyway, they could open a little more the secrecy that this sport has around tennis players and make fans more interested in them.
Tennis enjoys the best audiences in its history, both in stadium audiences and on television. That’s because people like idols, fighting, competitiveness and the battle for the big titles between Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Therefore, the format may not be the problem, but the possible absence of great figures to follow, of tennis players with charisma and who capture the attention of the public.
What do you think? Are you in favor of change or of leaving the Grand Slams as they are?
