Re(2): #67 - What if the winning team got choice of serve?

It would help players with weaker serves but on the flip side would not give them too much incentive to improve their serve.

I still predict 90% of the time in doubles the winning team would elect to receive the next point and in singles close to 100% would elect to serve the next point so the game should not slow down at all. If anything, would speed up the game due to more players may work on return of serve and picking the serve. It would be interesting to see every once in awhile where they choose the opposite. Also who would make the decision.. The server? What if the server was a rookie paired with a 10 year veteran in the back. Would the backcourter override him?
