@@snotnosewilly99 The big problem here is that not everyone has a coach at all, much less the 2, 3, or sometimes even 4 that the top players use. I'm generally okay with the random insight here or there during a break, but definitely not some kind of fully open system. Combine that with letting these coaches have access to the statistical data being gathered by the venue DURING THAT MATCH, it's literally just going to become whichever skilled player that isn't injured and has the better coach is going to win. Tennis won't be about the players anymore, but about their team.

@@vrnvorona What happens outside of the court is a different matter entirely. It has always been the case that athletes who have a better network of people and put in the work are going to have an advantage over those that just put in the work. That's part of sports in general. But the goal should ALWAYS be to at least mitigate these disadvantages as much as possible. This decision wasn't made to create a better sport, it was made to make a more entertaining sport for the spectators. The issue with that is there's almost nothing more boring than watching one player systematically tear apart another player because they have access to real-time, computer generated statistics that only some players are realistically going to be able to utilize. Even if both players are allowed access to the data, the players isn't going to have the time or energy to interpret and extrapolate that data. The player with the coach doesn't have to worry about any of that because the coach can do that work for them.

There’s another rule that bugs me because it’s being applied inconsistently, possibly due to the same reason why coaching was hard to enforce and it’s the audible obscenity one. They mostly enforce it for English and a couple of foreign words 7 out of 10 will get away with it. When a rule can’t be applied consistently it loses its purpose. I guess if the umpire doesn’t understand it, it’s likely that the audience won’t too and that’s the main thing but still, some players are at disadvantage vs others.

Do you count Chess as a sport?

In the AO final, when Sinner was down 5-1 in the 2nd set, his coach clearly told him on camera (in Italian) "Now try something different". It was inspiring for me that all the coach has to say was "figure it out yourself, you can do it". That aside, I'm against on court coaching and strongly against making live statistics available to coaches. While the coaching right now is common, isn't a deeper strategic advice but limited to basic hints. The player has still to figure out by himself how to win the match and that is an aspect of the tennis matches that I really want to preserve.

I have no problem with mid-game coaching , but I don't find it adds anything to the show. I couldn't care less about what a coach is saying. As for the rich getting richer, that's up to the tournaments to decide. They're the ones that distribute the money as they see fit. They could easily give the earlier round losers more money. Also, they could give each player a tablet to go over their stats during changeovers. Many sport leagues already do it. They could see where they're better or weaker than their opponent which should help even things out if they don't have a coach present.

Could you do a video on the history of the legality then illegality of meldonium usage in tennis? Maybe focusing on particular players and whether or not any key statistics (regarding for example match length, or even tactical changes where mainly defensive players shifted to become more offensive and thereby reduce average rally and match duration) changed after the substance was banned. I just find it frustrating that no one has ever looked at this. A lot of people suspect that for a fairly long period of time some top players were getting a huge stamina, and joint wear-and-tear, benefit from meldonium’s greater diffusion of oxygenated blood around the body. Other top players weren’t. It was scandalous that its use was tolerated for so long, but no one seems to talk about it.

Thanks a lot for this video. So, it seems like we (I mean, people like who can't stand coaching during match) must have to thank miss Stacey for having been the trojan horse of this utterly stupid idea, both for the WTA and ATP tours. I despise you miss Allastar. I feel just as much sad as disgusted by a bunch of changes done in the last 20 years. Most, if not all, of these changes have given an advantage only to better ranked / richest players. From the infamous "tv change over" and hawk eye on the biggest courts; to the fact you pointed out : most players can't afford to have, most of the time, their coach by their side (not to mention their entire team). I felt almost sick when umpires (I guess following ATP guidelines) allowed Nadal and Djokovic to take way too many time between points, reaching ad nauseam level during this highly suspicious AO 2012 final. It's a disgrace witnessing Juan Carlos Ferrero talking to Carlos Alcaraz (no pick a coach and a player I really do like). I've been playing tennis for over 35 years,and love this game to the bones, yet I miss more and more the era were a conversation between a player and his coach / team was mostly allowed ONCE during a match. As much as I loved such dialogues in any Davis Cup match, I never wanted this to spread to the whole tour. Quite the opposite : having it only during the Davis Cup competition was giving more weight to being alone most of the year, and vice versa.

If grand slams change to 3 sets then tennis is doomed

coaching during a match in any form should NOT be allowed. Sad to see an elegant game is polluted by a “business savvy” executive decision. The beauty of the game is how a gladiator fight to the championship on the court alone using his own mental and physical strength, similar to chess masters.

Based on the video you left this commented on, it was already happening before the rule changed, just out of sight/earshot or in a different language so as to not get caught.

HE'S FINALLY BACK

If they change sets to be only 4 games I will be upsetti spaghetti. The comeback potential within a set would be absolutely ruined. Same goes for no-AD scoring, way less of a margin for a comeback within a game. The most memorable tennis moments for me are insane comebacks from deep within sets/games. Getting rid of those moments would seriously impact my enjoyment of the sport.

look, regardless of who you have giving you advice, in tennis it`s gonna very rarely make some big difference. I mean, do you honestly believe that Rublev (or a player of that calibre) is gonna win a match he was going to lose because his coach told him to "hit deeper" or "play more defensive". Coaches in tennis could have more of a role helping players mentally to calm them down and increase their focus during big matches and moments rather than giving them actual strategic advice on how to play and what to do. Having said that, I think the rules need to be clear and need to be enforced because situation right now is completely unfair. Tsitsipas for example gets a ton of hate because of the supposed coaching he receives from his box, while on the other hand somebody like Alcaraz can have full on conversations with his coach (like you showed in the video) during the match and nobody cares because Alcaraz is the designated golden boy and the new tennis superstar. It`s just not fair, either everybody can do it or nobody can, right now it seems like some selected few are getting a free pass while others are getting all the punishment

I don't watch tennis or play it. but to me it seems like the main flaw are the lower ranked players being unable to travel with coaches. I'd perfer to see a system where if one player doesn't play with (IE you can choose even if the coach is on site) a coach the other one can't either. (i'm thinking of mid match coaching because that just seems the most natural and least weird). This type of system could make the games more interesting from an strategic point of view, as if one player is very reliant on his coach. simply choosing to not have that coach would put a more interesting spin on things. how to enforce no coaching? well i don't know tennis much but worst case scenario just put them in the basement or something, or a 1 way mirror

@@my8osprive OK lets look at the awards the ATP players actually vote for - "Most improved player, Comeback player & Newcomer of the year" - none of those are going to ever apply to Djokovic except when he was young when he did win them and when he came back from injury in 2018 when he won that too - he has been at the top for 15 years. the players also vote for the Stefan Edberg award FROM THE NOMINATIONS FROM THE ATP. so its the ATP who decides who you can vote for, not the players. The award players would actually WANT to be winning is PLAYER OF THE YEAR which Djokovic has won a record number of times. as for Federer and Nadal - they actually did next to nothing for the actual welfare of players on tour which Djokovic does and has done. even this October Trungelliti called this out that Fedrerer and Nadal were only happy with their own selfish position and not worried about the welfare of other players - "The Argentine took aim at Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, while praising Novak Djokovic when speaking on the topic, “I think it is indispensable. People may not like it, but Federer and Nadal never said anything. Whether you like it or not, they are complicit in how bad the system is, because they were not able to open their mouths even once and fight for the rights of the players. “If they ever did it it was internally, but it didn’t change anything. Only this year the Challengers’ prizes were changed a little, but they are still embarrassing when we supposedly came out of the most golden era in the history of tennis.”

​@@huzcer lol how can a guy be nominated for a Stefan Edberg award when he breaks rackets, disrespects the crowd, disrespects the umpires, retires matches when he sees he's losing (or even when frustrated because he lost the singles Olympic leaving his doubles partner dreaming about the possible pinnacle in her career), takes extensive toilet breaks, etc etc? kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6WfuMWOfdq-gbA.html

@@my8osprive ah it's hilarious. most people don't even know what a Stefan Edberg award even is and even less care about it. people know very well who has won the most though. the butt-hurt Fedal copers pretend to care about broken rackets when it's only because Djokovic has broken all the actual tennis records so they have nothing to talk about there. what is even more funny for the average Fedal hypocrite is that it was Federer who showed Djokovic exactly how it was done kzread.info/dash/bejne/qK2Iqo-mdMbbfbQ.html

Kind of unrelated but this is exactly why calculators were unbanned in Minecraft speedruns

I often give myself the "Isner talk." TV match camera zoomed in on Isner in the break. He's sitting there and you can clearly spread his lips saying "MOVE your FEET!" Great professional advice!

Off court coaching is a complete joke. Hugely detracts from should should be a 1v1 sport.

Khabib's team telling Khabib to "smesh him" ain't the same! 😂 Tennis players are more prone to mental collapse under pressure. On court coaching takes that drama away. Watching Halep self-combust for example is entertaining @@rafagoat575

But it's never 1 v 1. it takes a team, not just 1 guy

Do a video on David nalbandian

I love the idea of giving playes access to the game data on tablets during game but I think it would really seperate the greats from the ones buying their way up the ladder if there is no coach involved when looking at the game data, just the player and their brain.

I think it was mid match coaching that caused the inconcistency at the wta for the next decade and a half, when it was introduced many players had great results at the wta tour but did horrible at slams, like safina, radwanska, halep before 2018, and for me that is the reason what we saw for so many years almost all the top 10 falling in the first week of slams, and many unseeded players reaching highg instances at grand slams, because the coaching was forbiden at majors. Now that coaching is allowed in all the tours and grand slams, WTA has seen a little bit more concistency that past year.

While I love Rafa, this is one position I will not side with him on. I'm on Federer's side on this.

I feel like telling the player to drink more water shouldn't be considered coaching. It's protecting the player's health, no different to calling the doctor on if they get hurt.

This is kinda silly to me. Coaching mid-match should just be banned

Broooo your chess board is wrongggg. Great video as always tho

Novak Djokovic coaches himself. And he also coaches his competition while he is at it lol

I’m all for coaching outside of tournaments because your not playing your opponent. But I’m not a fan of coaching during a match as I see this as cheating

If it's allowed in the rules then it's not cheating. It is just a rule you don't like. It matters because it's very misleading to those who aren't following the sport to say that every pro tennis player is a cheat.

I don’t see a problem with coaching, in boxing it happens, especially in between rounds, you have to appreciate the person who’s playing a game of tennis has to have the experience and talent in order to put any suggestion into practice. If a top 10 ranked tennis player played against an opponent who was let’s say ranked outside the top 100, but was allowed coaching throughout the match, but their top ranked opponent was not, would that effect the outcome? I very much doubt it, very occasionally top players do get beaten by much lower ranked players, but it’s quite rare. What I believe has the biggest influence on how successful a player will become is money, a player with rich parents can afford the best coaches dieticians and fitness and strength trainers, all these factors assist a player to become the best they can be, but of cause they must have the talent perseverance and focus to achieve the top level.

The moment grand slams become bo3 is the moment I stop watching tennis forever

They should just move player boxes to behind the umpire if they talk more then let's go and such immediate violation

Coaching not being allowed was painfully dumb. In every sport it happens, and hell, even in Davis Cup it happened.
