Olympics: Men's final reduced to three sets for Tokyo 2020
Andy Murray beat Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro to win gold at Rio 2016 - the final Olympics match to be played over five setsThe Olympic men's singles final has been reduced to best of three sets, meaning only Grand Slam matches will be played over five sets in the future.
The change will come into effect for the 2020 Games in Tokyo.
Another change sees men's and women's doubles matches decided by a match tie-break to 10 points in the third set.
"These amendments reduce concerns of overplay for players who reach the latter stages of all three events," the International Tennis Federation said.
