Agreed general. Can you think of a reason why they are not?

Lady TT, I'm convinced Magnus Norman has the proper plans for a
player to beat Nadal anywhere.
But as with any plan, the individual has to have the ability,
fortitude, and some good fortune to be able to execute them.
And against top players, it isn't usually just one plan, usually
you have to have at least a plan B, since top players are
usually able to adapt during a 5 set match, and so one has to be
able to vary the tactics so the player is unable to settle into
a rhythm. If you listen to top players comments after they
lose, you will very often hear them say that they couldn't find
their rhythm enough during the match.
This is why I would never agree to having the men play best of 3
set matches in majors. In best of 3, a good player can be swept
away before having time to adapt and the lesser player can win.
I personally feel all men's finals should be best of 5, no
matter the tournament.
It surely isn't easy to execute against the very best players.
If it were, everybody would do it. And we know that it not the
case.
Also, it's not only one side that can have good tactics. Both
opponents are trying to impose their tactics on the match.
Fortune favors the brave, and the most successful execution
wins.
It's not just Nadal. Tactics can be developed that can be used
to beat any top player.
It's still a question of having sufficient talent, mental
strength, and fitness to be able to execute those tactics.

I agree. I don't think that it's strokes and technique that
always beats the lesser players, it's a combination of things.
Isn't it funny how players like Norman can get others to the top
of the mountain, but not themselves?

their reasoning:
the sport has become too demanding.
I think they destroyed a great tradition. masters finals are
also great preparation for the slams which are all best of 5
sets formats.
so the masters series events with best of 5 sets finals should
be restored.

My post may have gotten lost.
I think it's to help an aging Federer.
BO5 in regular tourneys might disadvantage him a bit.
He's still a cash cow for the tour and sells tickets.
They kind of always do this to protect their investments.

That's a good point, too.
The sport has gotten so demanding, turning it into a young man's
game.
There's multiple reasons, I suppose. We've brainstormed two so
far.
