Was That a Good Five Set Match? A Handy Guide for Viewers.

After last night’s match between Roger Federer and Francis Tiafoe, there were lots of fawning reviews of the late night dramatics on Ashe. But, it begs the question, what is a good five set match? Just because a match goes five sets doesn’t automatically make it good? There’s no lifetime achievement award for matches that reach a certain age — or there shouldn’t be. So, we’ve taken the trouble to develop a handy flowchart for you to determine whether you have just watched a good five set match, or if you need to rue the fact that you will never get those hours of your life back.

How to Use the Guide: Start at any of the pink boxes and move your way through the chart until you reach the yellow boxes at the bottom. Are there any other categories you would add?
