Hi Raino, really there shouldn’t be anything inside the court like a bag for example, it should be outside the playing area especially if it is causing problem for opponents. For example in a pro tour tournament there is no way anything like this would be allowed into the court.
So of course it depends a bit on how official or strict the event it is that you are playing in, but if something like this is causing you a problem then you should mention it to the umpire and ask that it is put outside the playing area.
I hope that helps!
