Well, for those saying it's unfair Justine has to play tonight after that grueling match...what would you all say if the match had no tie-break and had gone to 21-19 last night?
I think a tie-break is fair, actually. It was ridiculous that Roddick had to go to 21-19 in Australia and then come back and play a SF. That's too long to expect people to play.
I think it's also bad for the sport. General fans do not want to sit around watching a match for 5 hours. Other sports last 2-3 hours, and tennis matches should be no longer than that.
