While the amplification effect of a tennis match is quite remarkable, this can largely be explained by the fact that a tennis match lasts much longer. For this reason we now look into tiebreakers that lasts roughly as long as a tennis match?

In other words, if we replaced the match by a single tiebreaker of the same expected length (about 87 points), the result would actually be less fair.
