Used to watch a lot of pro tennis. Still recall Ilie Nastase’s wife lamenting at the U.S. Open one year, “He is fluent in five languages, why does he have to curse in English?”
Anyway, I watched a little last night and noticed no line judges, or at least it looked that way. How long has pro tennis been without line judges?
Back in the day it was fun to watch the center line judge just barely get out of the way of an errant serve hurling toward them at 100 mph. They would barely move a muscle, just lean ever so slightly at the last second.
