The men's ATP tour is set to introduce several changes to doubles tennis in an effort to revitalize the sport and enhance its appeal to fans. These changes will be trialed at the upcoming Madrid Open and select events throughout the season.
One of the key changes includes the implementation of a 15-second serve clock, aimed at speeding up the pace of play. Additionally, teams will now have the opportunity to enter tournaments using their singles rankings, with up to 16 slots reserved for such pairs in the 32-team draw.
