Tennis is governed by three
Tennis is governed by three different bodies – the ITF, the ATP, and the WTA – and each has different approaches to 'coaching'.
It has always been strictly prohibited at the Slams, but the WTA Tour has allowed on-court coaching since 2008, where players can request a pep talk at their chair once per set, at a change of ends. It is now trialling off-court coaching, which permits brief verbal and non-verbal communication from coach to player.
The ATP has since followed their lead, with a trial launched in July and running to the end of the 2022 season, incorporating the US Open and the ATP Tour Finals.
The trial allows coaches to communicate to their players from designated seats – they can utter a few words or short phrases when their player is at the same end of the court, while signals are permitted at any time. No conversations are allowed.
Ostensibly, the ATP has said the trial is intended to "create additional points of intrigue and insight to enhance the fan experience". But is it more about handing yet more power to the players and slimming down a rulebook that is often manipulated without consequence?
Tennis doesn't NEED in-match coaching; it just thinks it does.
