The Sony Ericsson WTA Tour will experiment with on-court coaching at this week's Rogers Cup in Montreal as part of a plan to enhance the sport's entertainment value.
The tour will allow players to call a coach on to the court once each set during changeovers and between sets. It will continue the trial next week in New Haven.
Players will also be allowed to call coaches on court if their opponent takes a medical timeout, bathroom break or walks off court to change her clothes.
