Novak Djokovic.
A month ago, he shot a linesman.
It won’t happen again, if Novak Djokovic decides.
– Technology is so advanced now that there is absolutely no reason to retain linesmen, says the world coach.
The Serbian was responsible for this year’s tennis scandal during the knockout stages of the US Open in September.
A frustrated Novak Djokovic was ruled out of the tournament after inadvertently hitting a linesman in the throat when he hit the ball.
“There is no reason”
A month later, the 33-year-old plays big at the French Open, and before the fourth round, he opens to push the judges off the court in favor of technology.
– Of course I understand that technology is expensive, so it is also an economic issue. But it seems that we are all moving in that direction. Sooner or later, linesmen are not necessary, says Novak Djokovic at a press conference.

Djokovic shot the ball to a linesman at the US Open and it was washed.
“To be honest…”
The incident at the US Open occurred on one of the two tournament fields that were not equipped with a technological linesman system. A consequence of the organizer’s desire to reduce the number of people in the arena in view of the corona pandemic.
The French Open still depends on the human eye.
– Ball calls yes, but line umpires? If I’m honest, I no longer see the reason. Can you tell me if there is only one reason, other than tradition, to keep it? It would also have reduced the risk that what I did in New York would have happened, says the 17-time Grand Slam winner. with a smile.
