    Wimbledon to introduce final-set tiebreaker in 2019

    Wimbledon will introduce final-set tiebreaks next year, the All England Lawn Tennis Club has announced.The new format will see a tiebreak played when the score reaches 12-12 in the final set and will apply to all events at the Championships.

    All singles and doubles matches on both the women's and men's sides of the Grand Slam, and all matches in the Junior tournament, will follow the same new format to decide the winner in the final set.
    The US Open had been the only Grand Slam where a final-set tiebreak was used to decide singles matches, although both the Australian Open and French Open have brought in tiebreaks for doubles matches.

    Isner probably lost a year of tennis over his career because of the old silly rule. Im glad the change was made
