As much as watching servebots irritates me, I think the opposite - just skip the actual sets and go straight to the tiebreaks. Save us all some time and boredom. I don't begrudge Isner and his ilk winning matches; they do it fair and square. I just don't feel like I need to see them do it.
I'm not sure what's worse, a servebot match or hours of excruciating anti-tennis. The ATP should really try to come up with creative ways to favour the more entertaining players it has coming up. I don't know precisely what I would suggest on that front.
