Corretja proposes best-of-three matches in early Grand Slam rounds

Grand Slam men’s matches are usually best-of-five sets.

Alex Corretja proposes making the first three rounds best-of-three, then returning to best-of-five from the round of 16.

He believes shorter matches could help lower-ranked players beat top players.

The article says this change would have altered the opening-round results for the Wimbledon and US Open champions in 2026.
