I was thinking (I actually do that sometimes, even though I find it exhausting), and I think I have come up with something that would improve the game of tennis: First of all, make the sets 20 minutes long (or maybe 15 for five set games), which then are played by each player serving three times before the turn goes to the other. If the number of serves is uneven when the time is up, extra balls are played to even it out. The player who then has won most balls wins the set.

So, how would this improve my tennis experience? Well, mostly it would mean that I – and others who have failed to grasp the supposed excitement of the sport – don’t have to turn on the tv only to find out that what I wanted to watch has been cancelled because the tennis game lasted longer than expected, which seems to be the case with about half of them.
