PARIS - Novak Djokovic’s relationship with line officials has been difficult of late and the Serbian risked their wrath again on Saturday when he suggested they were unnecessary.
The COVID-19 pandemic meant the majority of courts at the U.S. Open, part from the main show courts, dispensed with line judges as a health precaution. “The technology is so advanced right now, there is absolutely no reason why you should keep line umpires on the court. That’s my opinion,” he said. Spaniard Garbine Muguruza, the 2016 French Open champion, instead believes traditions should be respected.
