 I think this is to do with tennis though? ie this all effectively about whether Wimbledon/LTA should continue to ban Russian players from Wimbledon and other events this year...

Sorry if this got mentioned, I couldnt see any mention and have only just spotted this myself

www.france24.com/en/live-news/20230125-wimbledon-shorten-men-s-doubles-to-three-sets

So, mens doubles will be 3 sets from this year - not sure if the final will be 5 sets or not?

Probably had to come and cant say I am too disappointed, I would like to think the final will be 5 sets though, but probably will be 3 sets throughout

I hope they're not going down the no-ad route.

According to Simon Briggs in the Telegraph Denise Parnell is expected to become Wimbledon's first female referee in 2024. She was a player from the 1980's.

 I used to watch Denise Parnell at Ilkley each year back in the early 80's, she played the Open event there. She is from somewhere like Blackburn if I recall, Lancashire was her county, I am pretty sure.

Won't count that against her though.

Edit - Mancunian it seems

 Not sure quite where but it was mentioned on the forum some weeks ago  I would guess that it will be best of 3 sets throughout, including the final, which is what I would prefer.

 Must have missed it! I think it will probably be 3 sets throughout as they didnt call out a 5 set final etc. I cant remember if mixed is now a MTB final set or 3 full sets, but personally think using a MTB for mixed could be the way forwards for that event as well - if it is already, of course, good call guys.

I said above I would like 5 set final, on reflection I dont mind and as they never use 5 sets anywhere else now, it would not particularly add any value - so 3 sets would make sense to me
