Although it had previously been used occasionally in tournaments affected by bad weather, from the beginning of 2019 the "10 point" match tie-break also became the official method of deciding singles qualifying matches which had reached one set all in ITF tournaments.
From the beginning of 2023, when $40,000 tournaments were added to the ITF women's calendar, this rule was changed to apply only to $15,000 and $25,000 ($30,000 from January 1st 2025) tournaments, with all higher-ranked events reverting to the best of three tie-break sets.
Starting from the 2022 French Open, a rule change was agreed to by every Grand Slam tournament, as well as the Olympic Games from 2024, that a 10-point (rather than 7 point) tie-break would be played once the deciding set became tied at 6 games all.

Despite the match being played without any chair umpire or any lines people, its score has been verified by the ITF and ATP
