Barnett, Tristan and Pollard, Graham (2006) Reducing injuries by substantially decreasing the likelihood of long tennis matches. Medicine and Science in Tennis, 11 (2). pp. 10-11. ISSN 1567-2352
Abstract
Long matches can cause problems for tournaments. For example, the starting times of subsequent matches can be substantially delayed causing inconvenience to players, spectators, officials and television scheduling. Long matches can even be seen as unfair in the tournament setting when the winner of a very long match, who may have negative aftereffects from such a match, plays the winner of an average or shorter length match in the next round. Long matches can also lead to injuries to the participating players.
