Considering he's been doing it for years I wouldn't hold your breath on anything being done. Umpires (besides Pascal Maria) are even too chickensh1t to enforce the 25 second rule. He's the only one who ever docked points over taking too long.

Totally agree. Appealing to the umpires in these circumstances is an exercise in futility. I would have preferred Stan dealt with Toni the way Roger did with the Djoker clan: two brief loud words in their direction.

It mightn't stop Toni but it'd draw more attention to it...

He has a hard enough time against Nadal already without winding him up by shouting "Cheating khan!" (the C-word in a Cockney accent for this family oriented site) to his camp :cool: But yeah, as Stan said. Enough is enough. He (Nadal) should be able to win matches on his own.

Coaching by uncle Toni is the same as coaching by Djokovic' mom :clap:snigger:laydownlaughing

I agree!

No, but you know what I mean. A bark in the direction of the rabble works...
