Wimbledon: Ball Selection & Women's Five Sets

At Wimbledon, players select from three or four balls before choosing two for serving. New balls are introduced every nine games, with the first swap after seven games. Players often prefer newer balls for first serves to attack more effectively, while some opt for worn balls on second serves to make them slightly more difficult for opponents. truewildslot.com

The reporter also expressed interest in introducing best of five sets for women's events, noting that physically impressive players like Coco Gauff would thrive in such format. Best of five sets was used in WTA Finals from 1984-1998, with Monica Seles defeating Gabriella Sabatini in a memorable five-set match in 1990.
