Khachanov, Isner and Auger-Aliassime give opinion on Team Zones at ATP Cup

It gives those involved at the ATP Cup real-time statistics, data, insights and match vision and it is a move which has been welcomed by the players.

Karen Khachanov said that it enables players to talk through every point and get the whole team involved.

“In ATP tournaments normally you cannot even communicate with your coach, you’re by yourself and thinking by yourself,” said Khachanov.

“You’re trying to analyse what’s going on and here you have your whole team behind you, your personal coach, captain. The stats enable you to talk about every point and I think it’s a really good addition.”

John Isner called it 'very cool' and 'unique' and a concept that every player is enjoying so far.

“I thought it was different walking to the other side of the court, but I liked it,” said Isner. “I think the concept out there is very cool and very unique. I think every player's enjoying it, I enjoy playing on a team. When you play on a team, it's awesome when you win and help your team out, but it stinks when you lose.”

Felix Auger-Aliassime said that it's a different feeling but one that he likes as it means that you have your teammates cheering him on which is exciting.

“You hear more people behind your back, so it's a different feeling,” said Auger-Aliassime. “I personally like this feeling. It's good to have teammates cheering you on and it's exciting."
