Men’s Tennis Olympic final to be best-of-three sets

The men’s tennis final at next year’s Tokyo Olympics will change format to a ‘best-of-three tiebreak sets’ instead of five. The decision brings the men’s gold medal match into line with other Olympic singles matches which are all played as best-of-three sets. Meanwhile, the Men’s and women’s doubles matches would feature a match tiebreak to 10 points when tied at one-set all, as is the case in mixed doubles.
