"Yeah I am completely against changing that in the Grand Slams. We have a day off, I think best-of-five makes the difference in these tournaments," said Nadal.

"It is part of the history of our sport. Winning a Grand Slam, playing best of three demands something else from the player. Strong mentally, stronger physically to be solid for such a long time and for such a long two weeks. So I really believe it's the right to do."

"I am more a proponent of two-out-of-three everywhere. To improve the product of tennis, I feel like we have to adapt," said Djokovic.
