They had this yesterday at Madison Square Garden.

Apparently this is the 5th time this event has been played. It's been played in the past in Melbourne, Madrid, Vienna, and London.

Exciting new concept in tennis | Tie Break Tens | Tennis

It was a 8 player bracket style tourney. 2 players are matched up and play a tiebreak until 10 points, with the winner needing to win by 2.

If it gets to 20-20, then it's a sudden death point.

Vandeweghe lost 10-0 in the SF.

This was a DVR program for me. I'd just fast forward to the later stages of the tiebreak.

Some people may like the format.

It's not for me. Playing 10-20 points doesn't really tell me anything. Especially when serves are exchanged so quickly. Can't see if a player has patterns or tendencies.
