Mikaelian's toilet breaks after being bagelled in 15 minutes:( 🙄. Also Wimbledon 2019, Mertens took a long toilet break(12minutes?) after that 2nd set, plus three MTOs in the 3rd, to disrupt Barbora's rhythm.

No issue at all. As for Bara. She has changed her clothes and lenses in Dubai. Also it depends how far the toilets actually are. I know some boys who takes 20 minitues for toilets every day😅 And there is no time set up for toilet break so there cant be any penelty.
 
I think if someone is taking a timeout of any kind...in between sets is the way to go...anything else would be unfair, so I honestly don't have a problem with it...


My rule has always been...no medical timeout or bathroom breaks or a break of any kind until the set is finished...it's not that crazy considering some of the other ridiculous times people have went to the bathroom or taken a medical timeout...like when it is just before their opponent is serving for the match or worst....IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME!!!...

But sometimes a girl has to go

:D
 
People always come up with the sweaty bras or tampons but some players take a 10 minutes break every time they lose a set and they aren't menstruated every damn day during the whole year as far as I know.

Didn't Sinner got in trouble because he didn't even use the toilet a few weeks ago? I remember Murray admitting he just used his break to scream in the mirror.

Most of these bathroom breaks are gamesmanship and everyone is doing it since Sharapova started it in the mid 2010s.
LOL. Sharapova, the queen of ugly trends.
 
I am trying to remember which match or which player, but commentators in one of the matches were talking about a player who took a shower during the break. I also remember that Tsitsipas used to take breaks before the opponents serves, before it became shoe laces, now it's a racket change.
The famous shower break
 
SHARAPOVA seemed to disappear for at least ten minutes anytime she lost a set.
 
I‘m totallyyyyy living in the past here but the bathroom break Schiavone took after dropping the first set to Laura Robson in less than 20 minutes at Wimbledon 2012 infuriates me to this day. 20 fucking minutes and she needed the bathroom?! BS
 
Also Venus went through a stage where she took a bathroom break after the warmup which was pretty weird.
