ATP Next Gen Finals: Which new rules should top-level tennis adopt?

When Andy Murray speaks, the majority of the tennis world listens. And his anger towards Stefanos Tsitsipas for taking too long at the toilet during matches has seemingly contributed to a prospective rule change.

Timed toilet trips - ones which take less than it does for "American billionaire Jeff Bezos to fly into space", as Murray famously described Tsitsipas' bathroom break at the US Open - was one of the new rules implemented at last week's ATP Next Gen Finals.

Shorter warm-ups and courtside coaching were also trialled at the event, where eight of the world's best male players aged under 21 do battle across five sets - but where each set is won by the first player to win four games.
