Completely disagree. Loses one of the only unique traits that no other sport had. The player had to figure out things on his own. That was the beauty of it. What happens if a high profile player versus a low ranked player who doesn’t have or afford a coach?
Nick Kyrgios slammed the ATP's decision to test off-court coaching and believes it takes away the beauty of the game.
The ATP will test off-court coaching from the week commencing July 11 with
players allowed to receive instructions in qualifying and main draw
matches in tournaments - such as the US Open - and will finish at the
conclusion of the ATP Tour finals in November.
Kyrgios has vocally opposed the rule change and believes tennis is being stripped of a "unique trait". He said:
"Completely disagree. Loses one of the only unique traits that no other sport had. The player had to figure out things on his own. That was the beauty of it. What happens if a high-profile player versus a low-ranked player who doesn't have or [cannot] afford a coach?"
Kyrgios made the comments in response to Mouratoglou who praised the decision as it would remove all the hypocrisy behind coaching in tennis. There are many polarizing views coming out about this decision but the overwhelming sentiment seems to be that it might stick in the future as many younger players are openly for it.
