World number six Taylor Fritz has voiced strong opposition to the International Tennis Federation’s (ITF) decision to allow off-court coaching from 2025, arguing that it undermines the strategic and mental elements that make tennis unique. Fritz, along with other players like Denis Shapovalov, believe the rule change will detract from the sport’s inherent one-on-one nature. The ITF, however, maintains the change is in the best interests of the sport, citing support from players, coaches, and officials.
