33 ITF Men's Circuit 2. Toilet Break A player is allowed to request permission to leave the court for a reasonable time for a toilet break. Toilet breaks should be taken on a set break and can be used for no other purpose. A player is entitled to one (1) toilet break during a best of three (3) set match. In doubles matches, each team is entitled to a total of two (2) breaks. If partners leave the court together, it counts as one (1) of the team's authorised breaks. Any time a player leaves the court for a toilet break, it is considered one (1) of the authorised breaks regardless of whether or not his opponent has left the court. Any toilet break taken after a warm-up has started is considered one (1) of the authorised breaks. Additional toilet breaks will be authorised but will be penalised in accordance with the Point Penalty Schedule if the player is not ready to play within the allowed time. Any player abuse of this rule will be subject to penalty in accordance with the Unsportsmanlike Conduct section of the Code of Conduct.
