i doubt that's true but I mean calling the trainer when he knows he's on the back foot and losing momentum. He did that to clearly collect himself (like a timeout)
ATP likes to stay with tradition and allow complete self reliance for the player to do it on his own. The rule is so stupid though. Some players look at their box and communicate with their coach on almost every point. Sharapova did it early on with her dad in the stands. Some use hand signals. It's so difficult for the umpire to judge that. They give warnings but I don't think they will ever deduct points for that.
ATP just needs to change tradition like they did with the Hawk Eye computer system. I'm personally against having them on the bench but against punish players when they communicate with their coach on the stands. The WTA has been testing that with some events so time will tell

Rod is in some trouble ... against Yen-Hsun Lu
Rod down the first point on 4th set tiebreak.....Rod looks to be headed out
Rod had better wake the up.
Rod down 3-0
there ya go Andy!
Survived.
Now he has to really pick it up for this 5th set.
Lu definitely got tight after leading 3-0 and let Rod get back in.......Rod needs to keep pressure on Lu by serving well and looking for the break
here we go ....
with neither player able to break serve, this could be another long 5th set.
Wow.
Rod loses to Lu
unreal.....Lu played the match of his life there. He read Rod 's serve and punished him
Rod is done as a Wimbledon contender, imo. Last year was his but unfortunately he choked it away.
I agree
Federer is out.
ing in the presser and then blaming the loss on having an injury
He didn't look right all tournamentFederer is out.

lol Nothing like Nadal. Federer was way more into discrediting his opponent. Pathetic from Roger.
Nadal will win this thing. playing too good.
Go Murray!!!
I don't remember a game where Nadal was losing and he didn't call the trainer.
He called the trainer 2 years ago in Hamburg. That is how long since he called a trainer before Petzschner. Forgot about the Murray match. He retired soon after the timeout. He's got knee problems. You expect them to flare up occasionaly.
What I don't like is that he always calls it when he losing, I never saw him calling it when he's winning or the game is tied. Djokovic is another guy that calls for the trainer a lot but I've seen a lot of times where he calls it when he's ahead.
