“Fun!!”

Simone Yang

“11 points are okay, but would rather have 5 point change of serve.”

Bohdan J. Dawidowicz

“Terrible!!”

Brian Pace

“Yes, I like it.  ‘Exciting.’ ‘No more down time.’”

Sean Lonergan

“Doesn’t matter.  Indifferent to it.”

Danny Seemiller

“I love it!!”

Allison Seibel

“I like it!”

Eric Owens

“I love it! And it is what the game needs to be more exciting!” (Before winning Nationals)

David Zhuang

“You must get used to it.”

Sean O’Neill

“I think it’s great.”

Nick Mintsiveris

“It’s okay, I’m getting used to it.”

Jasna Reed

“It is very intense.  There is much more pressure.  Anybody basically can win.  It’s tougher!  Better for spectators, but harder for good players.”

Howard Grossman

“Yes, I like it, absolutely.  It’s good for my game.  I like the two serves. It makes me stay focused.”

Andre Scott

“No, I don’t really like it.  Higher-ranked players have a lot more pressure on them now. We have to come out gunning to stay on top.”

Sharlene Krizman-Wilson

“If I get ahead it’s great.  If not, I don’t like it.”

Tim Boggan

“It really doesn’t matter to me.  All I know is I play a lot more ‘Deuce’ games”

Scott Preiss

“I don’t think there is any advantage for the better player.  But I don’t know if my opinion counts as I’ve been playing with the 21 points system for 31 years!”

Steve Isaacson

“I feel if I get ahead the game goes quickly.  If the game is going badly you can get it over quickly then and get on to the next one.”

Sol Schiff

“Totally disapprove.”

Barney Reed, Sr.

“An exciting idea.  Too early to tell.”

Allen Barth (referee)

“Adjustments not only for players, but umpires as well.”

George Brathwaite

“It’s better from spectators view; lower-rated players have a  better chance going into a game.  Alternating of two serves each also makes it easier and better to approach a match in a better frame of mind.”

Arthur B. Chase

“It certainly determines the winner faster.”

Marty Reisman

“Ridiculous.”

Scott Gordon

“Personally I like it, because it’s less stressful. But, 21 points is better for hardbat.”

Steve Berger

“It stinks!!”

Harold Russell

“No, I don’t like it. Can’t waste any points; can’t relax.”

Jack Howard

“Terrible. I’m just getting into the game and it’s over.”

Franz Schauer

“They should go back to 21 points.”

Tawny Banh

“You have to stay focused right from the start. I’m finally getting used to it; at first it was weird.”

Christian Lillieroos

“I like it. It’s good for the spectators; it adds drama.”

Lily Yip

“No. Too fast switching the serve; more pressure.”

Shoni Aki

“It’s very confusing especially for seniors in doubles.”

Dr. Michael Scott

“A better compromise might be games to 15 points.”

Houshang Bozorgzadeh

“I like it.”

Larry Hodges

“It might be good for the sport – I’m not sure yet. Personally, I hate it, especially alternating serves every two points. And putting all the best of seven or nine scores in the magazine is murder!”
