A new time regulation rule for Tennis... "Tennis might see a potential change in the time regulation rule to enhance the pace of the game and kill the "dead time'. A new 15-second shot clock will be put to trial at the Madrid Masters ATP doubles event later this month." "This 15-second shot clock has been used at ATP events before, specifically at the Next Gen Finals in Saudi Arabia last year. The tournament has become the testing ground for new innovations, which in recent editions have most often been geared towards the speeding up of the game." "The length of men’s singles matches has increased by more than 25 per cent over the last two decades which sometimes hamper the scheduling of the event especially for the broadcasters." Thirty30 tennis enhances the pace of the game and kills the "dead time". #tennis #thirty30tennis #speeduptennis #shorterscoringformat https://lnkd.in/eVSdH6h9

On Wednesday afternoon Jannik Sinner snd Carlos Alcaraz competed in an epic final at the China Open (an ATP 500 level tournament) Alcaraz won the match in a final set tie break after 3 hours and 21 minutes. Alcaraz and Sinner represent are also ranked #1 and #2 in the ATP Tour rankings and have already played several incredible matches. On Wednesday evening, the two players shared a plane to travel to Shanghai to compete at ROLEX Shanghai Masters (an ATP 1000 level tournament). Tennis has so often been a leader in Sports for shining a light on what true rivalries can look like. It is clear that there is mutual respect and like-ability between the two players off the court. This offers us a great and alternative way of thinking about Sports competition: * From win at all costs TO strive for excellence in conduct and performance to attempt winning * From disrespecting an rival / opponent TO understanding that competing well means that your opponent can be your greatest teacher in raising your game * From thinking Sports are everything in life TO knowing that Sports do not define your life and relationships beyond the court or field of play This is certainly a rivalry that will excite fans for years to come. Think carefully about the dominant media narratives we see in Sports today. What do you note? What can we learn from this example in how we seek to reframe the dominant narratives in sports? #SportsMarketing #SportingExcellence #Tennis #JannikSinner #CarlosAlcaraz

Interesting to see in the Olympic Games Tennis Final – Carlos Alcaraz using the ‘moonball’ against Novak Djokovic. It’s a shot hit high over the net with lots of topspin and many advantages: 1. It’s a ‘high-percentage shot’ – difficult to miss when you’re used to it. 2. A useful change of pace if you’ve been hitting hard. 3. Gives you time to recover your court position if you’ve been pulled wide. 4. Many players will move well behind their baseline to return it, making it difficult for them to hit an attacking shot.
