Court-side coaching
The Australian Open has introduced court-side "coaching pods" at this year's tournament (2025) in a Grand Slam first. The pods are positioned in two corners on each of the major courts with up to four people allowed, similar to the set-up at team events like the Davis Cup and United Cup.[7]
They have access to real-time data on screens for statistical analysis, there is also a cooling mechanism for comfort.[8] Coaches have the option to sit in the pods or in their usual place in the traditional player box, where friends and family can also sit.
Commenting on the courtside pods, Craig Tiley (CEO of Tennis Australia) said: “I’ve been an advocate for the coach being allowed on the court, just simply because it adds to the whole story, and the whole show, and every other sport has it.”[8]
He further said: “We think [the pods are] going to create bigger stories with coaches, a more interesting narrative, give the coaches more profile, and there’s a good chance we’re going to see some things happen down there that are pretty interesting.”[8]
Media controversies
During a Nine News Melbourne broadcast on 17 January, Channel 9 presenter Tony Jones was standing in front of a crowd of Serbian fans when he said Djokovic was "overrated" and a "has-been", followed by "kick him out".[9][10] Djokovic demanded an apology from Channel 9 and boycotted Jim Courier's on-court interview after defeating Jiří Lehečka in the fourth round, describing the comments as "insulting and offensive".[10][11] Jones and the Nine Network issued an apology on Monday, with Jones claiming he already privately apologised to Djokovic's team on Saturday.[12][13]
On 22 January, during a press conference after winning his quarterfinal match, Ben Shelton criticised the "negativity" and style of questions being asked by interviewers after matches in the on-court interviews. He said the interview of Learner Tien, after his defeat of Daniil Medvedev, was "embarrassing and disrespectful", and also criticised two questions asked towards himself by on-court interviewers.[14][15] Current and former tennis players, including Chris Evert, Boris Becker, and Lehečka, supported Shelton's comments.[16]
