Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, and Amanda Anisimova share their thoughts from Doha on the possibility of watching women's matches played over five sets starting from the 2027 season.
Yes, you read it right, it's not a joke. Craig Tiley, director of the Australian Open, confessed in an interview with NY Times that they are seriously considering exploring the possibility of women playing best-of-five sets in the later rounds. "I think women should play five-set matches, and we are thinking of implementing it from the quarterfinals onwards. If after studying it we believe it is the right thing, we will try to do it for 2027. There is nothing in the rules that prohibits it, but we need to have a deep consultation with the players," he stated.

The unprecedented. If they recall, perhaps they will realize that there have been very few five-set matches in the final stretch of this year's Grand Slam. The data is compelling. Only three years have seen less than 7 five-set matches in the second week of competition, but 2025 sets a record that will be hard to beat since only the Norrie vs Jarry and the final between Alcaraz and Sinner at Roland Garros reached that limit.
📊 In 2025, only 2 five-set matches were played in the second week of Grand Slam tournaments. NEVER has such a low total been recorded since the beginning of the Open era.

Incredible, but true. Not a single match has gone to five sets in the 2025 Australian Open from the round of 16 onwards, all resolved far from the field of the epic and boundless excitement that such encounters generate. Since third-round duels like Davidovich and Mensik, Draper against Vukic, and Rune versus Kecmanovic went to five sets, not a single match of that caliber was seen in Melbourne. This had only happened on six other occasions during the Open Era, with the most recent being Roland Garros 2016.
📊 For the 7th Grand Slam tournament since the beginning of the Open era, no 5-set match has been played in the second week:

Rafa Nadal hung up the racket last November after Spain's defeat in the Davis Cup Final Phase. Behind him are hundreds of records that we will likely never see again, including the one for percentage of victories in five-set matches. The Spaniard shows a record of 345-46, meaning a victory ratio of 88.23% after having played 391 matches. Looking at the list, Novak Djokovic seems to be the only man capable of approaching that figure, although he would need a great performance in 2025 to take that step. Will Nadal remain the owner of this record until the end of time?
