Australian Nick Kyrgios slammed the ATP Tour's decision to trial off-court coaching, saying on Wednesday that the beauty of the sport where players had to figure things out on their own was being taken away.

Patrick Mouratoglou, who coached Serena Williams and now coaches Simona Halep, congratulated the ATP for"'legalizing' a practice that has been going on at almost every match for decades" but Kyrgios said he opposed the move. "The player had to figure out things on his own. That was the beauty of it. What happens if a high profile player versus a low ranked player who doesn't have or afford a coach?"
