Novak Djokovic Opposes Roger Federer On Applying Best Of Five Sets In New Tennis Rule

Novak Djokovic is not in support of implementing any changes to tennis rules in terms of best of sets to play before a winner is declared, disagreed with his Swiss opponent Roger Federer's position of best of five-set as against best of three sets to determine the winner of a match especially in Masters 1000.
The world number two said about one rule he would like to change after a successful opening round against Peter Gojowczyk, that he "would add more best of five sets matches in finals."
Given his reasons for saying that, he clarified that "in Masters 1000 we have more opportunities" to make changes, but not having any five-set matches in ATP tour level "is an opportunity wasted"
Federer's position on new rules did not go down well with the Serb who is set to be the first player to win golden Masters if he won the title In Western & Southern Open, on his part, wants all tournament to apply best of three-set rule instead.
The Wimbledon champion, 31, said this at an interview after his stunning defeat of Adrian Mannarino from a set down by 4-6 6-2 6-1 on Wednesday.
"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," said Djokovic when asked about rules he would like to change.
He went to explain his reasons for his take on new rules pointing the sport's new generation of fans' readiness to spend more time watching the games should be considered.
"This new generation of tennis fans and Millenials, they don't have a great attention span and they want things to happen very quickly," he said.
