His time in tennis was not as positive as he had hoped through Kosmos with the Davis Cup, but Gerard Piqué remains a great tennis fan and has revolutionary ideas that, according to his words in Iker Casillas' podcast, did not materialize due to the inertia and reluctance of entities like the ITF. Asked about the current state of the sport, the former footballer and entrepreneur believes that in tennis, the second service should be eliminated, and each player should only have one serve.
"We try to change certain things, but there is no way. The ITF doesn't want to change anything. 'Why do you serve twice in tennis? It's 30 extra seconds of a guy bouncing the ball. People don't want to see that. They also don't want to watch a five-minute game with deuce-advantage-deuce-advantage. There should be a sudden-death point at 40-40," he commented.

The Italian and his team have already designed their roadmap during the three months in which they will not be able to compete, before reappearing in the Rome tournament.
Tennis has been experiencing incomprehensible situations lately, with one of the most recurring contexts being competing until late at night. Night sessions at the Mexican tournament are already common, but what happened this early morning, with Alex Michelsen securing his victory over Bu Yunchaokete past 2:00 am, should not become a regular thing.
The American remains alive in the ATP 500 Acapulco 2025 thanks to a spectacular comeback against the Chinese player, who was up a break in the second set after winning the first set and was serving to close the match with a 6-5 lead in that second set. Michelsen will now face Denis Shapovalov.
