Best of Three, or Best of Five? A Tale of Two Eras
Ah, the age-old question. Is it a marathon or a sprint? Well, fear not, my fellow tennis enthusiast, we're here to clear this up.
- Before 2007: It was a best-of-five set extravaganza. Imagine Nadal and Djokovic going toe-to-toe for five grueling sets in the Miami heat. Yikes.
- After 2007: They realized humans aren't robots and switched to a best-of-three format. A much more humane approach, if you ask me.
So, unless you’re time-traveling back to the early 2000s, you can expect to see three-set battles at the Miami Open.

But Wait, There's More!
Now, you might be thinking, "Three sets? That's still a lot of tennis!" And you're absolutely right. But fear not, there's a silver lining.
- Tiebreaks: Every set has a tiebreak if it reaches 6-6. So, while you might not get a full 12 games, you'll still get your fair share of back-and-forth action.
- Super Tiebreak: If it’s a final set, and it’s tied at one set all, they play a super tiebreak up to 10 points. It's like a tennis cliffhanger.
