Czuch Chuckers: Depends upon when you are measuring the advantage. At the start of the game, it would be unfair to say "Player X needs 7 wins, Player Y only needs 4." However, once you make the assumption that one player is ahead 6-0, you aren't at the start of the match anymore. I don't care who the players are, I'd rather be ahead 6-0 than tied 0-0. At the start of the match, both players have an equal likelihood of getting to 6-0, so the rules don't favor either of them.
