AUSTRALIAN OPEN '19: New rule nixes never-ending final sets


Andy Roddick knows a thing or two about playing a tennis match that just won't seem to end. The Hall of Famer once won an Australian Open quarterfinal that ended 21-19 in the fifth set. Those types of final sets are on the way out at Melbourne Park and the All England Club.

The old setup at the Australian Open and Wimbledon created problems for athletes, without a doubt.
