John Lloyd criticizes late finishes in Grand Slam tennis matches

John Lloyd spoke out against the current scheduling at Grand Slam events, specifically citing late finish times during matches at the US Open. Highlighting the record-setting match between Ben Shelton and Carlos Alcaraz that ended at 3:33 am, Lloyd argued that such late finishes are detrimental to players, fans, and the sport's integrity. He suggested a switch to best-of-three sets for men and women to improve the quality and manageability of matches. While Lloyd's views have sparked debate, some players, including Frances Tiafoe, defended the traditional best-of-five format, stating it preserves the Grand Slam's prestige.
