No. We are irrelevant here. And maybe I am way off base. That's my interpretation.ti-amie wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 6:10 pmOh!

Re: Tennis Related - Off Court Serious Issues
There are several players that are known as gamers, that make money thru Twitch or another platform, some with hefty sponsorships. Daniil is not one of them. So if this is supposed to connote gamer, one would have to ask why. Unless he's keeping his playing very much under wraps, which seems unlikely, I don't think that's what it is. Unless that's something they are targeting in the future and this is more aspirational than anything else.

Curious what makes you associate it with Thiem (or Cibulkova... certainly no one outside of Slovakia and hardcore tennis fans would know her)?JazzNU wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 5:06 pm The trademark filing part might be a newish thing, but other players have logos who aren't necessarily marketing powerhouses. Sinner and Barty come to mind as players who unveiled logos. I don't particularly understand Daniil's logo, looks like it would be better suited for Cibulkova than him or Dominic Thiem honestly, but it's fine. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't take off the way he's hoping it does.
I don't know if it's super-great, but I get the reference to Medvedev. He's leaning into the spelling of his name with the two IIs that also form the legs as part of a body on the little icon. It kind of looks like a person hitting a forehand - stretching to a forehand is a common photo I've seen of Medvedev. So, not a super obvious association but I'm not sure what would be an obvious one for him unless it were just a speech bubble that said "Bulls**t Russian"

Notice how if you change the word COACH for NANNY in Tsitsipas' statement, it changes nothing.

Re: Tennis Related - Off Court Serious Issues
But the same can be said of the women players. Yet coaching is permitted for them (except at Majors).
As I've said many times - either allow in-match coaching or don't allow it, but make it the same for both the ATP and WTA - and at the ITF level for men and women.
Where I feel that in-match coaching should always be permitted is at the Junior level. These kids are learning the game, and I feel that they would learn more efficiently and faster if in-match coaching were permitted.

Re: Tennis Related - Off Court Serious Issues
I agree about coaching at the Junior Level. It would be a sign of maturity, a graduation of sorts, for those players to not need on court/in match coaching when they join the main tour.

Re: Tennis Related - Off Court Serious Issues
I would agree on college because the format is more like Davis Cup, in the sense that it is a team Vs a team.

Re: Tennis Related - Off Court Serious Issues
I’m fine with coaching period, but definitely in juniors and college. It’s how you learn. And you can’t replicate the match pressure, so it’s the only chance for coaching while playing a match. I’d love for a designated USTA league to allow coaching. I got some coaching input in a practice set recently and learned sooo much.ponchi101 wrote:I would agree on college because the format is more like Davis Cup, in the sense that it is a team Vs a team.

Re: Tennis Related - Off Court Serious Issues
I am fine with coaching while the match is going on. I wouldn't want like a 5 minute conversation to go on between the coach and player though.
