this year, indian wells' finals was 2 sets. 62 75 nadal d djokovic. miami's was 3 straight sets. 63 62 64 djokovic d canas. monte carlo's was 2 sets. 64 64 nadal d federer. i looked at wiki about monte carlo. in 2003, ferrero won in 2 sets. 62 62. in 2005, nadal won in 4 sets, 6-3, 6-1, 0-6, 7-5. there were years before that that had only best out of 3 sets. if master series should have best out of 3 in finals, since its not a grand slam, why did the 2007 miami final had 3 straight sets in a best out of 5 sets?
im not complaining that nadal won. i know he's really good. federer too. but im just confused. i would really like a longer match :-)

Rules have recently changed and only Grand Slam tournaments now use the 5 set format

earlier the finals of masters series eventslike this one were best of 5 sets.but now they have introduced reforms because of which even the finals are best of three sets.since nadal won the first two sets he won the match.

Because Nadal wins two sets. and Federer just win one set.

Some Tournaments are set to different rules. So different matches go to so many amounts of sets.

Because Nadal won both sets, I think.

Only Grand Slams are best of five, any other tournament is usually best of three.

i also dont know and confuse because he only need to win 2 set. maybe the rules is now different. as i know, in every master's final, you must win 3 set (best-of-5-set) to win it.
