That would be truly unfair since players from different time zones are matched.
If you attack first, your opponent gets to see how you've done and knows how many points are needed to beat you. This can be quite advantageous.
It won't help you perform better than your best. It may help you to a less stressfull offense, when you know, you don't need to perform at your best to win.

I'm not married to the idea, but it's more fair than going into a matchup knowing in the event of a tie you'll absolutely be the winner or loser based on GP numbers.
Yet, you have a 50/50 chance of being te one with the higher GP. That's as fair as it gets.
