I dunno I feel like that's an unfair advantage especially given Novak wasn't aware of it.
This is not the Patriots spying on another team running plays prior to the game. I don't know what advantage you might take aside from maybe seeing if there is some kind of tick or movement that Novak does that indicates whether he is serving wide or going down the 'T'. I'm sure Charlie has plenty of people on his team pouring through existing video looking for any kind of edge. Also, with on-court coaching being adopted, his team can give him real-time instruction on things to look for that Novak is doing.
So, I'll go back to what I said earlier, much ado about nothing.
the only advantage I could see coming out of that would be if they somehow captured private conversation audio. otherwise, there's millions of hours of both match and practice video of Djoker out there to consume that will provide the same value, unless they think he's in the middle of changing his swing or tactics
Novak just called for hindrance as he let out a yell after a backhand down the line that he thought was going to be a clean winner. Sinner got to it though.
Edit: And now called for a serve clock violation in the same game.
