NEW RULING FOR 3-MINUTE BREAK FOR JUNIOR MATCHES
At a meeting of the national Tennis Rules and Regulations Committee in early April a consensus developed on how to handle the new 3-minute break following split sets when a Match Tiebreak in lieu of a third set is played in junior matches.
> Treat the break as a set break that is three minutes long, with the exception that coaching is permitted on court. The only usual reason for a player to leave court would be for a toilet break. A player taking a toilet break may be coached during that break and a player remaining on court while their opponent takes a toilet break may be coached for the entire time the opponent is gone.
