"After all the hard work of two split sets it does not seem fair to decide the match in one 10 point game. The full set lets both sides have a chance to see who can really win the mathc."

"Please do not tinker with the tennis scoring system which has withstood the test of time and is central to the the beauty of tennis. Any tennis lover would rather play the third set than save some time by playing a third set tie-breaker."
"playing a full third set is fair for both players"

"Thank you for your consideration.I am stronly in favor of reinstating the third set for regular season league matches. "
"Me and my teamates join a league to have fun and play tennis in a competitive format. We are not in a hurry to get a match overwith and some of the most fun is watching the third set to decide the match when the other matches have been completed. #637700"
"I am strongly against the rule change eliminating the third set, in favor of a 10-point tie-break. I will no longer play in the leagues after this season, unless the rule is reversed."
"I play for fun and I am willing to put in the extra time for the third set. It totally changes the match by not playing it. Also keep in mind that in the Reno Tahoe Area we drive a long way to go to sectional/divisionals for those playoffs. "
"The third set is an impetus for those watching to interact and socialize. It creates an opportunity to walk away with a friend or two, instead of an opponent. Moreover, the "super lame tie-breaker" benefits the person with a stronger serve, which is no"

"I am very interested in playing out the 3 set, rather than a 10 point tie break. I feel it is the fair way to play the matches for both teams. A greater challenge!"
