The ATP is testing a new ball-change rule this week in Stockholm, with fresh balls introduced every 7 games instead of the usual 9 (after the first change at 7 games because of warm-up).
🎙️🇺🇸 Here’s what Taylor Fritz had to say about it after his opening match in Stockholm:
"I think the most effective solution [for the quality of balls] is fixing the shitty balls, but this new rule definitely helps. Like, it DEFINITELY helps.
This would have been a very, very, miserable match to play if we were not switching after 7. Because even with the 7 and 7 switch, the 1st ball change for me was brutal because of the warm-up, actually.
You wouldn't think it, but just adding that extra warm up plus the 1st 7 games, at the end of the 1st ball change, it was already like, "Wow, I need new balls. This is getting really rough". It's tough to play.
So after we got past that, changing on every 7 was huge, honestly. The thing is, it matters so much on the surface, and it's really tough to tell, because here the court is tearing the balls up much more than what was happening in Paris and what was happening in Basel. So, the balls just react differently to different courts and different weather when we're playing outside.
So I said this before, some weeks 7 and 9 is actually okay. Most weeks, 7 and 7 is probably better, but it'll change week to week, and this is definitely one of those weeks where a quicker ball change is needed for sure."
The 8 male players with the most amount of wins at Slams in one season:
▪️🇷🇸 Djokovic - 27 wins
▪️🇨🇭 Federer - 27 wins
▪️🇦🇺 Laver - 26 wins
▪️🇮🇹 Sinner - 26 wins
▪️🇪🇸 Nadal - 25 wins
▪️🇩🇪 Zverev - 25 wins
▪️🇸🇪 Wilander - 25 wins
▪️🇪🇸 Alcaraz - 24 wins
Djokovic and Federer were both one win away from winning all 4 Slams in a season
