It is obvious that the game of tennis has progressed over the past decades. The technology of the racquets, balls, and even the courts have changed over the years. We have computers calling lines in most matches and the fitness levels of the players have even changed.
I am wondering if y'all feel in the next 10 years there will be even more change within the game. Maybe more tournaments or maybe players deciding to play in less tournaments throughout the season. Will the point/rankings system be adjusted to take into consideration different court surfaces and other such measures?
What things do you think will change within the game in the next 10 years or so, if anything?

Electronic line calling will become an increasing part of the game, and players will start adding computer programmers to their team to help them find a way to hack the electronic line calling equipment to get more calls in their favor.

I also see computers becoming way more involved in the game. Whether that be with coaching or even in match coaching. The coaches already have at their disposal their phones , but I would not be surprised in the near future they will have computers with all the minute to minute stats and shot analysis of the game for the coach to analyze and give tips to their player while on court.

You are late. At the Aussie, I forget who was the player but his team had a real time analyst in his box.

Definitely more and more players will be leaning that way in the next couple of years.

... And eventually, all matches will be played remotely on video screens while the players are relaxing in the comfort of their luxurious mansions...

Re: The Evolution Of The Game
It will, as much as I would hope it will not. Not only you will accept on court coaching, you will accept on court coaching from multiple coaches.
The sport will be less for that, and the player will have one more escape clause: "My coach told me to go into Djokovic's BH again and again that's why I lost".
No longer a one-on-one sport.

Re: The Evolution Of The Game
I agree with you. Getting some coaching in my 4 years during high school from my coach during my matches is one thing and I also feel college players should be allowed in match coaching and also Junior players. The professional players however have developed their games to a point where I think they should know those things or at least have done the work prior to playing an opponent to be fully prepared for a match.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2023 3:47 pmIt will, as much as I would hope it will not.
