Tennis News – Stefanos Tsitsipas wants to allow coaching during matches, calls for modernization of sport

Stefanos Tsitsipas has called for coaching during the matches.

Coach activity is currently prohibited from tennis, and players can be warned not to talk to their coaches during the game.

Greek star Tsitsipas has received code violations from hearing his coach earlier in the auditorium, and the 22-year-old thinks it’s clearly a pointless rule.

Coaching every point should be allowed in tennis, he said on Twitter.

Sport must embrace it. It was probably one of the only sports in the world that doesn’t use coaching during the game.

It is also a very basic truth that the vast majority of tennis coaches actually coach on the field, despite the rules, Tsitsipas continued in his response to the message.

Sometimes players are penalized for it, but for the most part they don’t.

He added: Tennis needs to be modernized, which is difficult because traditionalists are very powerful and dominant.

Tsitsipas will play on the Greek side at this summer’s Olympics, and as the world’s number four is one of his favorites to win gold after several high-profile draws.

Novak Djokovic is aiming for one more recognition, but Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer will not be in Tokyo by 2020.

Representing my country is the greatest honor I could have had, and playing at the Olympics is the dream of every Greek athlete, he said.

For me, Tokyo, I think it’s a fascinating experience. Of course, I would like to give my best in each individual match and arrange a good performance, and maybe even impress myself at some point.

Tennis at the Olympics will begin on Saturday, and the opening ceremony should officially begin with games on Friday.
