Soccer predictions Fritz on coaching: It would be crazy if someone could step on the court and serve for you, right? So why can someone tell you what to do?

Taylor Fritz criticized the legalization of coaching in tennis. Previously, the ITF announced that from 2025 it will be allowed in all tournaments.
- I think tennis is so unique and cool because it`s as much about psychology as it is about physicality.
I think the key role is that you create the strategy yourself. People change their behavior on the court to adapt to their opponent. I don`t want coaches to be able to say, Hey. . .
Sometimes you perceive things differently if you don`t play and watch from the outside. I just think that in tennis, when you play one-on-one, it`s not just that you`re only fighting against each other - you also have a mental battle. And this is an important part of the game. I think not many people understand this. You have to play at almost the highest level to realize how important strategy is.
This should remain between the two players. I think how you strategize, handle decision making, and handle yourself under pressure is just as important as your serve and your forehand.
It would be crazy if someone could step on the court and serve for you, right? So why can someone tell you what to do? That`s just how I perceive it. I compare [coaching] to everything else we do on the court. Why should someone help you?
This is not a problem in tournaments analyzed by insider football websites like the United Cup, Davis Cup and Laver Cup. Coaching makes sense there. During the rest of the tour, no.
- I agree.
- Most people agree (smiles).
The coach should encourage, say great shot, good job, keep up the good work, fight, all that stuff. I don`t think when it becomes something like move back, hit it more there, cover here, this. . .
I think the main reason that made them make this decision is that they were almost being bullied. Because a lot of people still broke the rules and gave hints.
I think they should put microphones in the boxes. Someone needs to check these microphones and be very, very strict if anyone goes beyond mere support. They should be fined right away.
This is how we could fix everything and remove coaching. The players would have to decide for themselves - which, as I said, is one of the great things about tennis.
