Fritz is furious: "Why should anyone help you?"

Fritz is furious: Why should anyone help you?
le 11/11/2024 à 17h38

Since match coaching was officially authorized by the ITF, Taylor Fritz has been one of the first and foremost opponents of this contested decision.

Questioned in a press conference following his authoritarian victory over Daniil Medvedev (6-4, 6-3) in his first group match, Fritz was once again critical of this change in the rules: "Yeah, I think one of the things that makes tennis such a unique, cool sport is that it's really as much mental as it is physical.

Publicité

People change what they do on the court to adapt to the opponent.

I don't want a coach to be able to say to someone: 'Hey...'. Sometimes you see things differently when you're not playing the game.

I think tennis is a sport where you don't just play against each other, but also mentally fight against each other. That's a very important aspect of the game. I don't think many people realize that.

I think you have to play almost at the highest level to really understand the extent of strategy. It's something that should stay between the two players.

I think being able to strategize, to make decisions, to find solutions under pressure is just as important as serving or hitting a forehand.

It wouldn't make sense for someone to come onto the court and serve for you, would it? So why should anyone tell you what to do?

That's how I feel. I compare it to everything you do in the field. Why would anyone help you?

I have no problem with that in team competitions like the ATP Cup, the Davis Cup or the Laver Cup.

It makes sense. Training, okay. For individual matches, the rest of the season, it makes no sense to me."

Well said, Taylor, I agree with you 100%,
Without any doubt, one of the main instigators of the reason for the rule change was the blatant use by Tsitsipas & his Father, along with the rule change re; timings & amount of bathroom breaks, that can be taken during a match.

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Grenier and Hsu at the Kobe tournament? The match was played to completion and on time.

Grenier def Ysu 6-2 , 6-2 at Kobe today and the TT canceled the match.

2nd for me this week.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
