Lleyton Hewitt Wants to Change a Key Rule: "We Need to Put an End to This"
While the off-season is in full swing, debates are multiplying in the tennis world.
Lleyton Hewitt, a guest on the podcast The Tennis, did not escape the exercise and spoke about the evolution of the game.
"Some players sometimes use it as a tactic"
The former world No. 1 shared that he would like to see an adjustment to the rule regarding medical timeouts:
"On the court, everything is a matter of will, and some players sometimes use them as a real tactic: when they are in trouble, just before the opponent's serve, before an important game, or at the end of the fifth set. I think we should try to put an end to that."

They keep crying this dump is overpopulated. Let the tennis players weed themself out. Then they'll be ******** about that.
It's too hot. We don't get paid enough millions. The schedule is to long.
We can't use drugs or fix matches. Now they're putting us in suicide pods for lying. Maybe someone should start questioning the types of individuals allowed to play professional sports.
It's obvious they cant be trusted.
Just park a Kevorkian Mobile at every slam since there are so many players. It's like every tournament is a gathering of liars and thieves.
Imagine having to interview tennis professionals to baby sit your kids.
You'll Have as much luck at a prison.
I didn't do it, I'm innocent
