En yesterday’s match between Holger Rune and Cerundolo, which lasted 4 hours, left us a fact that is rarely seen in tennis. The Norwegian and the Argentine reached the fifth set of the match and played a Super Tie Break that Rune ended up taking to go to the quarterfinals of Roland Garros.
What is a Super Tie break and when is it used?
The tie break is used to break ties in a set. A sudden death to 7 points with a difference of two. However, when the tiebreaker reaches 10 points, it is renamed Super Tie break. and has the same conditions as a normal tie. The match between Rune and Cerundolo led us to a fifth set in which we could see a Super TIe break: 7(7) 3 (3), 3-6, 6-4, 1-6, 7(10) 6 (7 ).
One of the most epic super tie breaks was in a Rafa Nadal vs. Taylor Fritz in the 2022 Wimbledon quarterfinals. The Spaniard, with abdominal problems that prevented him from serving well and quite evident fatigue, made an epic resistance to win the match in the Super Tie break 3-6, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 and 7-6 ( 10-4).
