Tennis Star Taylor Fritz Pitches In-Box Microphones For Coaches

Fritz suggests using microphones instead of the banned practice of in-game coaching

The ATP's decision to ban in-game coaching continues to draw mixed reactions from players. Taylor Fritz, in particular, has come up with a novel solution to the problem: in-box microphones that would allow coaches to communicate with their players during matches.

Fritz believes that microphones would be a fairer and more effective way to implement coaching. "I think it would be a good compromise," he said. "It would allow coaches to still be involved in the match, but it would also prevent them from giving real-time instructions."

Benefits of In-Box Microphones

• Fairer and more consistent than the current system
• Allow coaches to provide support and feedback without giving real-time instructions
• Help players develop their decision-making skills
• Improve the overall quality of play

The ATP has not yet commented on Fritz's proposal, but it is likely to be met with some resistance from traditionalists who believe that coaching should not be allowed in any form.
