If, for reasons outside the player’s control, clothing, footwear or necessary  equipment (excluding the racket) is broken or needs to be replaced, the  player may be allowed reasonable extra time to rectify the problem. c. No extra time shall be given to allow a player to recover condition.  However, a player suffering from a treatable medical condition may be  allowed one medical time-out of three minutes for the treatment of that  medical condition. A limited number of toilet/change of attire breaks  may also be allowed, if this is announced in advance of the event. d.

This rest period can  be taken after the 3rd set in a best of 5 sets match, or after the 2nd set in  a best of 3 sets match. e. The warm-up time shall be a maximum of five (5) minutes, unless  otherwise decided by the event organisers. 30.

Decision: No. Case 2: Is a player allowed to receive coaching when play is suspended? Decision: Yes. Case 3: Is a player allowed to receive on-court coaching during a match? 460
