The trial was going on for two years
For the last two years, ITF has been trying this rule on a trial basis during several men’s and women’s tournaments, which has yielded positive results. After this, after consultation with experts and former players, it was decided to implement this rule completely.
Sports will become more entertaining: ITF
The International Tennis Federation said that this rule will make the game more entertaining. ITF said, we have taken this decision after talking to all the important people associated with this game, including coaches, players and chair umpires. Players believe that this is a positive step and will make the game more exciting.
This is how you will benefit from the new rules
1) The coach may give advice to the player at any time during the match, either by voice or gesture, but not during any point.
2) During the break, the coach will be able to talk to the player only for a few seconds.
3) During a team event, if the team captain is present on the court, he will be able to advise the player.
4) Players will also be able to use analysis techniques during coaching.
Denis Shapovalo criticized…
25-year-old Canadian player Denis Shapovalov has criticized this rule. He wrote on social media, not as a player but as a fan, I am very disappointed with the implementation of this new rule. Tennis is a special game because when you go on the court, you are alone. After all, why are you destroying this beauty of the game?
