I agree with Becker on this. Unless this player was suffering from a bad injury he should've stayed out there and taken his medicine. It's a bad look.

Tennis Therapy - playing can help. Teaching is a way to make it your lifestyle.
Tennis can be therapy for those looking for an escape, a safe and pleasant one. I used it for that while growing up. Tennis can be the means for achieving the habit of discipline that will carry over into other aspects of life such as work and gaining an education. For me, it was a way to take away all of my concerns while focusing on simple elements as movement, concentration, and conditioning. Later, when I began teaching, it took on the further concept of analysis. Learning to figure out why one thing works while another does not is central to any skill, art, or discipline. Learning and teaching tennis contains the same challenges to both body and intellect.
Why teach? Simple reasons such as I prefer to work outside in the sun, I like to exercise, I like coaching, and I love teaching others how to play Tennis.

Reporter Reinstated at the French Open
Hopefully, Zverev's comments helped his situation. The French do like to control things from top to bottom so this is simply a reflection of society.

French Open 2021 - Tennys vs Novak
Tennys went for broke gambling on many shots to take points he normally wouldn't have won. He was playing very well. The article states it was effortless for Novak as if he just lolled around on his side of the net instead of the superb effort he applied to finish the job.

Tennis skills are Perishable
Most skills have a shelf-life. There is probably a ratio of time versus skill loss for most things just like physiological decline after physical training stops that can be graphed. For tennis, I'd put it at 5-10% per week down to 60%, and then it declines at a slower rate. Just a guess. Somebody has probably done a study.
If you find a study I'd love to see it.
