Second Serve | The Bathroom Break Loophole that Broke Professional Tennis: nebula.tv/videos/culttennis-the-bathroom-break-loo…
Professional tennis players… have been cheating. Openly, and on a regular basis. Out of desperation, the ATP, WTA, and the Four Grand Slams have recently enacted landmark rule changes that have legalized these violations , but in doing so, may have opened the door to a host of other potentially serious logistical and ethical issues posed by removing the final barrier that separated not just player from coach, but tennis itself from its famed reputation as the last remaining gladiator-esqe major sport.

Cult tennis is kinda like Kyrgios. Ridiculously inconsistent, but when he shows up, very entertaining
-
I've always wondered why (if coaching is cheating) they put the coaches so close to the players.... Let's put them more far, and maybe put the two coaches together so they will cancel each other 😂
-
11:00 - They've introduced a serve clock timer so I have no problem if all coaching happens within that time. They need the start the clock at the end of the last point

dude, i played tennis competitively my entire life and tore my ACL my first year in college. two years (and two surgeries) later, i still can’t return to the court. your videos let me feel connected to my sport :^) thank you for what you do

When the world needed him most

Very interesting video. I never thought about potential consequences of unbalancing a meeting between a player who get advices, stats, etc and a player already struggling to sustain himself.
-
Less than a week ago I revisited your channel after realising you hadn’t posted in a while so I’m glad to see you’re back!
-
why is allowing coaching, fast 4, no ad and so forth “advancement”? Can’t someone think of something genuinely creative and not just arbitrarily different?
-
I have no problem with on court coaching. It’s happening anyway and officials can’t stop it. Let it happen. Timing bathroom breaks is also a good idea to speed up the game.

So Stacey's mission is to destroy tennis

I'd be quite upset if the majors changed to 3 set matches for the men. I'd like the opposite. I think the women should play 5 set matches just like the men. 5 set matches are far more entertaining.
-
There’s another rule that bugs me because it’s being applied inconsistently, possibly due to the same reason why coaching was hard to enforce and it’s the audible obscenity one. They mostly enforce it for English and a couple of foreign words 7 out of 10 will get away with it. When a rule can’t be applied consistently it loses its purpose. I guess if the umpire doesn’t understand it, it’s likely that the audience won’t too and that’s the main thing but still, some players are at disadvantage vs others.

Please dont turn tennis into soccer or basketball. No coaching. From 6 years old to 90. In fact, take away coaching at college level competitions also. Let the coaches coach during the week. Once the match begins let the player play and work it out on their own.
-
The body governing tennis is facing the same problem the awards shows like Oscar have. They think they need to chance to apeal to a larger audience, but the chances fail to do that AND alienate the fans that already like the event.
-
I say no computer data access. I say coach can talks to player but not the other way round and only when they are on the same side of the court.
-
If they make men's grand slams best of 3 it will be nail in the coffin not progress
-
Players who can’t afford a coach during matches are at yet another disadvantage
-
This was super high quality and informative too. Kudos to you my friend

The day Cult Tennis uploads is a GOOD DAY.
