5 v 7 (1)

5 v 7

These comments are a response to the views expressed by top players regarding the new service rule. I added my view on 5 v 7.

I think the new service rule is great. However, even at local level people are trying it on and not serving properly. I do hope that is going to improve the game and attract more viewers. Also, I would like to know what people think about playing in the best of 5, especially top players. From a viewer point of view, I think it is a waste of time; especially in a team competition where the winning team is the one to reach 3 sets first. Immagine some one spending £10 for a ticket and get only 45 minutes of TT because one team won 3-0. Either they play the best of 7, or include 1 or 2 doubles and play every match and each match wins a point for the team. It would make it a lot more interesting for the spectators, otherwise it will stay as it has been so far in the dark.

Could some one tell me how I could speak to a top table tennis player and top officials?

I love the game and I do not want to see it going down the drain.

More drama yes, but you must also give players something to battle for and something for spectators to watch.
