I think it would be interesting if women played best of 5. Probably less instability. I just know this Anderson mug is going to lose to Murray despite being 2 sets up.
Konta could have done something if she wasn't a flop at the important points. She DF'd to give Petra the first set and during the second, df'd to give Kvitova a break.
But the real reason is that Kvitova isn't the type of player to inspire people to root for her, like a Lisicki or Vika or Maria or Halep. She's more like a CSN in that regard.
