A tournament game was to 21 with 5 serves apiece. However, in their infinite wisdom, the TV folks said let there be games to 11 for more drama and excitement and fewer boring stretches of play. Forget how amazing the play could be in and of itself.

Yes, I was not aware of this. It’s reminiscent of the move in volleyball, sometime in the last couple of decades, when they extended games from 15 to 21, but now give points whether the team serves or not.
