New Delhi, October 10: Women players at the DSCL Open (National) tennis championship gave a thumbs-down to the `Alternate Scoring System' implemented in the women's (senior) event on an experimental basis.``It is not a good idea to have the new scoring format as it leaves no scope for a comeback once a player loses a service game,'' said US-based Jyotsna Vasisht. Jyotsna said it was psychologically tiring to play five-set matches. ``It is more logical to play three-set matches as the number of games played under new scoring system goes up,'' she added.Sania Mirza does not have any problems playing under the new scoring format. There was no confusion as to how the new scoring system would work as the players were briefed by the match officials before hand, she said.``It's okay but one service break down and you are out of the set,'' she said.Nikita Bharadwaj said she would vouch for the new scoring system if it was a three-set affair instead of the five.``If a match goes into five sets, it takes a lot more time than a three-setter under the normal system''.
