Absolutely agree with Taylor Fritz. The greatest players are all great thinkers and strategists. In-match coaching negates players who have that strength. As for the coaching happening despite being against the rules, I feel the player's box should be much farther away so that nothing they say is audible to the player.
To me regulated coaching on court does seem interesting. As a fan it would surely add more spice and entertain me more when I get to experience the coach-player relationship during matches. Although, I do agree that tennis isn't very rigid in implementing certain rules imposed by itself so who's to say that the coaching would be regulated. Imo if somehow the umpires become strict enough to allow for such coaching tennis should become much more enjoyable. And there is no possible way to restrict on-court coaching, think of on-court coaching as someone from the audience shouting/suggesting something to the player they support unless the authority bans coaches to attend the match
Depending on the tournament there are different rules. But at the moment, the only coaching some federations allow is at the change of ends. So no in-point coaching.
I think coaching allows players to improve more rapidly. So it’s good for the game because it will bring about more champions. However?l, there is something to think about when the player is set to his or her own devices
Padel has on court coching, and it is an individual (well, doubles) sport. It is the most similar sport to tennis, so why not permit it here in tennis?
Because it will widen the gap between the atp players that can afford a coach and those who can't. Considering that already a small amount of players are able to play tennis for a living it would make it even tougher for those not in the top 128. Also with doubles you can strategize with your partner, so you can't really compare that to a tennis singles match. Badminton however is more similar in that regard. Lastly, the mental battle is part of the sport too. You can have great technique and spped and power, but if you can't handle set-backs than you are not mentally tough.
Nope, very much against the idea. It is the very thing that makes tennis unique and outstanding amongst other sports. You can have all the strength in the world but if mentaly you can't handle pressure or know how to change tactics when things aren't going your way - sorry, tennis is not for you. It does not add any entertainment value, to me it is cheating.

And it clearly doesn't add any entertainment value for the fans.
You can hardly hear them, and when you can you don't understand the language.
Yeah you could just put a signaller in the front row and text them. Just transition, sorry old schoolers but as the video says most coaches do it.

How about badminton? It's an individual sport as well. Does Badminton allow coaching?
