Rennae Stubbs, coach of Serena Williams, has once again sparked a very heated debate in the tennis world. According to him, the format of Grand Slams is becoming obsolete due to the excessive duration of some matches being best of five sets, so he has proposed a revolutionary change to enhance the spectacle.

In fact, Stubbs has focused on the case of Novak Djokovic in his quarter-final match at Wimbledon 2026 against Felix Auger-Aliassime to justify why this change is needed, as the Serbian player arrived very physically limited at his semifinal duel against Jannik Sinner which he lost clearly. In his own podcast, Stubbs was critical of the situation and made his stance clear on the matter.

"I think an ideal balance could be best of four sets, and if it's tied at two sets, we play a 10-point tiebreak. They've seen the men, they now also play long rallies, but they have very powerful serves and win many points with their serve, especially on grass. But you're not going to see a point end so quickly all the time, especially on clay, where rallies of 40 balls are played," he stated.

Will tennis change in the short term?

In the fast-paced world we live in, there are already several experts calling for a change in the format. Playing a sudden death point at 40-all, having the Grand Slams be best of 3 sets, having a 10-point tiebreak if it's tied at two sets... There are increasing proposals for the format to change, although there are also those who argue that this would end the essence of these tournaments.

"I'm a tennis purist and I love watching good tennis, but I don't want to watch it for five hours and fifteen minutes, as we had to in the quarterfinals with Novak and Felix Auger-Aliassime. It could be said that Novak was dead for the next match against Sinner. Jannik played the most perfect match against Novak in the semifinal. I saw it in person and Novak was just a step slower in everything," acknowledged Rennae, who also said, "Is it because he's 39 years old? Probably. Is Jannik the best player in the world when he's in form? Probably. But if he doesn’t play for five and a half hours and instead plays for four, does he have some extra energy left? Probably."

For now, the Grand Slams don't seem likely to change their format, at least in the short term, and in fact, the director of the Australian Open even hinted at the idea that they could also play five sets on the women's circuit. The truth is that tennis is fine as it is today, so probably everything will remain the same despite such complaints arising from time to time.
