Do you prefer two set or three set men's tennis?

Question

I personally prefer two sets because it's much shorter, unless there are two powerhouses on the court then I wouldn't mind it going to five.

Answer 1

i think five setters during grand slams is good but in the minor tournaments five setters would become irritating except maybe in the finals.i agree with u that if 2 biggies are playing,like federer and nadal or roddick and safin(their match is today) i would definitely like a five setter.

Answer 2

Five setter. Many times we see a player go down 2 sets to none and come back to win it in five sets. it makes for good tennis.

Answer 3

Tennis is supposed to be an endurance sport. When the men play 2 sets, the game loses the respect of other athletes....might as well just go bowling....

Answer 4

As a paying customer in the stands you want to get your monies worth so I say 3.

Some of the women's 2 set matches are done in under 50 minutes. Not worth the trip.

Answer 5

I prefer 3 sets when the match is really interesting, but sometimes it is simply boring. So I think it mainly depends of the players and their ability.

Answer 6

five sets, it gives players a chance to bounce back.
it's longer, but that just means there's more tennis to enjoy! haha
and tennis matches arent always being aired, so it's nice to watch for a while when it is on.

Answer 7

I prefer two out of three - I can't stand those five-setters that last like five hours....

Answer 8

for grand slam matches i wont mind a five setter. but in regular tournament no way. it would be too long and boring especially during early rounds.

Answer 9

5-setter, it's just better to watch
