'I hate it' - Taylor Fritz, Daniil Medvedev give view on off-court coaching trial ahead of Cincinnati quarter-final
Taylor Fritz and Daniil Medvedev have both given their verdict on the ATP’s new off-court coaching trial ahead of their Cincinnati Open quarter-final, with the American calling it a “dumb rule”. The trial started in July and allows players to receive verbal and non-verbal instructions from a coach in a designated seat around the court. Ad Verbal coaching is only permitted when the player is at the same end of the court while non-verbal coaching, such as hand signals, is permitted at any time.
