"I am not in favor of the third set tie break"
"USTA # 1180292572"
"I have previously sent a letter to norcal voicing my opposition to the 3rd set tie-breaker. This change does not benefit players, only shortening the enjoyment of playing tennisfor all of the players in order to convenience a few."
" USTA#11274423 Everyone I talk to would like to play a regular 3rd set and a regular tie breaker if the 3rd set goes to 6 all. Sally fong"
"Pls pls reinstate the third set for all regular season league matches!"

"Part of the challenge of tennis, especially in singles, is the endurance, the survival of the fitess. This would be completely eliminated."
"Bring back the full third set. Allow captains the option of playing a third set tie-break if courtime is restricted. Both team captains would need to agree to this format prior to the start of all matches."
"As captain for many Club Sport USTA teams, I feel very strongly we should return to the third set format. We felt the tiebreak play-off format at Harbor Bay really hindered those teams who were very, very fit. Thank you for your consideration. "
"I absolutely oppose playing a tie-breaker in lieu of a 3rd set! It takes away a huge element of the game...CONDITIONING."
"USTA #1180205332"
"In favor of Regular third set"

"The Norcal USTA is out of touch with its customers!!! Before making decisions, try asking the customer first and do what is in the best interest of the customer not USTA"
"I kindly ask for your consideration to reinstate the third set to increase the competitive level of the game."
"I have also provided an e-mail comment in support of re-instating/keeping the third set to the e-mail box designated by USTA Norcal."
"The third set is a must!"

"My USTA number is 11002769"

"The large clubs favor a third set tiebreaker, as it frees up their courts. Individual members overwhelmingly favor a third set. USTA - think: who are your customers?? "
