Tennis Australia Explains Whoop Call After Carlos Alcaraz Mid-Match Removal

During Alcaraz’s Australian Open quarterfinal vs. de Minaur, an umpire told him to remove his Whoop fitness tracker. Tennis Australia said, “Wearables are currently not permitted at Grand Slams,” but the event is in “ongoing discussions” on change. It added players can still monitor distance, acceleration and shot speed/spin via Bolt6 data. Some devices track internal load, like heart rate.
