In the grand slams, it's normal tennis scoring.

In the other events, they don't play advantage. If it's duece, the next point wins. And if they split the first two sets, they don't play a 3rd set, they play a 10 point super tiebreaker.

I think the only thing that can save doubles tennis is they start giving man advantages to one team. Like if a team reaches so many unforced errors they have to play a man short for so many points with singles boundaries.

i would start watching if that happened.

That one guy would have no chance. :P

This doesn't really belong in here but in case anyone has continued interest in Raonic, he has moved on to his next ATP event in South Africa where he was made to qualify, beat two guys to enter the main event and just crushed the #2 seed instraight sets in the first round this morning.

The guy he beat was ranked in the 30s on tour and he has already now picked up some more ranking points.

I was watching the online feed of his matches and he hasn't lost a step. In fact, he's gained even more confidence and rightfully so. If anyone is interested in following Raonic's progression, bookmark his ATP page:

http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/P...os-Raonic.aspx

It has a detailed description of his rankings. It's also interesting to see how his career prize money basically tripled after his solid showing at the Aussie Open.

you guys should make a strictly Raonic thread, he's going to have a busy year/career.
