Boris Becker wants to change a 'ridiculous' rule at French Open and Wimbledon

The French Open has had some issues with its rules this year. Novak Djokovic was unhappy with the heat rules when it was very hot, and Jakub Mensik was not happy that ballkids couldn't bring towels to players.

There have been problems with advertising boxes on the court, and the French Open is the only big tournament that still uses line judges instead of automatic line-calling.

Boris Becker, a retired tennis player, thinks one rule is 'ridiculous'. He wants to change the rule about lets on serve.

When a player is serving and the ball hits the net tape, it's a let and they get to serve again. But if this happens during a rally, it's a valid shot.

Becker wants this rule to be the same for serves and rallies. He thinks it's unfair that serves are treated differently.

Becker believes that if the ball hits the net tape during a serve, play should continue. He thinks this is just part of the game.

Becker also had issues with another rule. The world's number one player, Jannik Sinner, lost a big match after being ahead.

Sinner was struggling physically during the match and had to stop playing for a while. The umpire and trainer came to help him.

Sinner felt sick and left the court, but he didn't take a medical timeout. He lost the match after returning to play.

Another player, Mensik, had cramps during his match and collapsed on the court. Players can't take medical timeouts for cramps.

Becker doesn't understand why players can't take medical timeouts for cramps. He thinks this rule is unfair.

Becker thinks the rules are not clear about what players can do when they have cramps. He believes players will say they have a different injury to get treatment.

The rules need to be changed to help players who are suffering from cramps. Becker wants to see a change in the rules.
