Wimbledon and French Open set to allow on court coaching from stands

Wimbledon and the French Open have reversed their stance about on-court coaching as they are set to allow on-court coaching from stands this year.
Both events were previously firmly opposed to any sort of coaching but now they are joining the Australian Open and the US Open in allowing that to happen. It's been something that has been talked about for a long time and slowly but surely coaching is starting to appear in tennis which makes some players happy while others continue to oppose it.
Tennis first allow coaching from the stands last year with events slowly starting to adopt it. Australian Open allowed it this year with Roland Garros following suit. Wimbledon was initially opposed to it but now they will follow suit.

- Don't like her... never liked her. She's a condescending (fill in the blank). That said -- WTA is failing the players by allowing these camera operators to hover over, or next to, players -- especially while physio teams are working on their exposed areas, etc., etc., etc. There should be a safe distance rule. Also: let's not forget it was the cameras taking closeups across the court and literally resulting in revealing "upskirt" views (hence the ladies now place a towel between their legs at the bench). This is not a hard choice!mandoist21-05-2025

- That would have hurt!! Another cool moment was a sky-high lob when Qinwen shot the ball (mistakenly) straight-up and came within a foot or so of the overhead drone. BTW: Been watching these damn drones at sporting events -- a major accident waiting to happen in crowded venues like tennis courts. Not to mention they are super distracting.mandoist16-05-2025
