(Reuters) -The International Tennis Federation (ITF) on Thursday appointed Tie Break Tens (TB10) as its official partner in short-format tennis, with the format set to be integrated into the governing body’s Junior Tennis Initiative (JTI) programme.

Tie Break Tens is a format of tennis which is played in 10-point tiebreak matches, without games or sets, with the winner being the first player to reach 10 points and lead by a margin of two.

“The recognition of Tie Break Tens is a very exciting step for us,” ITF President David Haggerty said in a statement.

“We hope integration of this dynamic format into the Junior Tennis Initiative will entice and inspire the next generation of players and encourage confidence in those high-stakes, fast-paced match moments.”
