"It is important to be able to play a full third set. I see NO reason not too."
"I have not heard from anyone at our club who thinks that the super tie-braker in lieu of a third set is a good idea. All feel that a third set is a true test of skill and conditioning."
"Bring back the full third set."

"WE WANT 3 SETS OUT IN THE WEST COAST!!! They said they did it for time. Remember this is OUR TIME!!!"

"tennis is about physical conditioning as well as strokes and mental toughness. "
"Please bring back the full third set. My USTA# is 11863376"
"would like to see 3rd sets reinstated for championship play as well"
"I do not feel like we are playing a "FULL" match with a 10 point super tie-break replacing the third set. Would like to reinstate a full third set."

"I play tennis to get the most playing time on the court I can. Just as I hate no-add play, the 3rd set tie-break robs me of the chance to play more tennis, and also the chance to come back in the 3rd set. Please reinstate the 3rd set in USTA competition"
"I would hate to lose a hard fought match (having split sets) in a tie-breaker (no matter how "super"). I am a senior (62 years old) and still raring to play a 3rd set. Tennis is a game of skills, determination, and stamina. We do not play the game for "

"A tie-breaker is not as fun as a set. It should not be mandatory! We play 2 sets of doubles and are forced to end with cheezy tie-breaker. What are you thinking?!? "
