I do not agree at all...exactly because of the lag, that one set can be decided by one point in which lag causes one of the players to miss the ball, or make wrong shot, or position himself wrongly on the ball...
Another argument, is mine an kyuuji's match, where while he hosted I had huge delay, but when I hosted, conditions dozen times better for me.
Another argument, is you can play bad in one set, and good in another, so match of one set, doesn't prove much who is better. Although togdt is 1st on rankings, you can't assume that he would won this match for sure, can you. He had 2-0 in sets against richou, and what happened.
Another argument, during the match you can find things that one of the can do well, or respond well to it, you can change tactics during the match, and with that make your self even harder to beat.
Another argument, is adjusting to conditions, as you play longer in one condition, you play better as time passes...like mine and chillers match...
Although its unplayable match, its semis of the Wimbledon, deadline is not that much big of a deal now because matches will be played, you should have try to play later if nothing else, just giving up must not be an option in these situations, no matter what kind of a conditions are, and who is your opponent.
