A few days ago, at a press conference, Novak Djokovic, asked about how to modernize and energize Tennis matches, proposed for example to bring in dancers during the change of sides in the manner that certain American sports already do. like the NBA.
Asked to react to this strange proposition after qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, the American Coco Gauff, who knows the subject well, explained that there was simply not enough time .
“I mean, there's only a one minute change of ends, so I don't really think… it would be a great idea if we had a real halftime like in these sports. The problem is we only have a minute, and I honestly think our side changes here [à Melbourne] should be a little longer. I guess it depends on how long you want the show to be. I don't think it will be like in the NFL, where the halftime lasts 50 minutes, that might be too long. I think sports can be fun and things can happen, but it would be difficult to do something crazy in just a minute and a half… But it's really an interesting idea, I didn't expect to that from Novak. »
