Federer won his men's singles, doubles and mixed doubles against Singapore Slammers
at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium on Sunday (7 Dec.2014)
With an emphasis on speed, an IPTL (International Premier Tennis League)
tie comprises five one-set shootouts in men's and women's singles,
men's and mixed doubles and a past champions match.
The team that wins the most games, not sets, is declared the winner.
Federer, who agreed to play only in Delhi,
said he found some of the rules strange, and others unnecessary.
He added: "The one I think is most unnecessary here is when you start the motion
and let's say you miss the ball toss, that counts as a mistake.
"I think that's probably most unnecessary.
The way it is right now, I don't think it will work as a Tour event.
"I'm very traditional and I like the way the game is on tour.
I like the scoring system." (BBC news)
