Would: Norrie, Ruud, FAA, Hubie, Fritz.
Wouldn't: Medvedev, Zverev, Djokovic, Nadal, Tsitsipas.
that's some great news!You've been hired as an umpire...
I’m sure you’ll have an aneurysm waiting to push the serve clock button like a good mouth breather.
rafa and djoker to give them point penalty for time violation and racqet abuseWho are the top five men and women you would want to umpire a match for and who are the top five men and women that you would refuse to umpire a match for?
I would say F that, there is no clock in the rulebook, you dimwit!I’m sure you’ll have an aneurysm waiting to push the serve clock button like a good mouth breather.
If Nadal plays you will probably give his opponent the win without playing a point?that's some great news!
i won't let you down, guys, i promise...
The guiding principal was no top players as they tend to behave the worst. I’d be stressing out about the stop clock, toilet breaks, upsetting them. I wanted low key guys who don’t cause fuss and play pretty fast. The interesting thing for me here is that the lists are quite different to the players I’d choose as a spectator.Interesting list.
that's some great news!

At first, you have to stop cheating TTW readers by claiming that Rafa has gone over the allowed time to serve without getting punished by the chair umpire who operates the serve clock. I wonder if they hire people who are cheating readers.Would:

3) Nadal - I would take pleasure in being an umpire who won't bend to his star power and punish him every single time he goes over the allowed time to serve.

You want to end up as Carlos Bernardes!? Scared for your physical and material well-being!? Not smart, buddy, not smart at all.that's some great news!

As for Carlos Bernardes, there is peace between him and Rafa. Two summers in a row (2018 & 2019), Bernardes preferred to umpire at the Challenger tournament held at Rafa’s academy in Mallorca, instead of umpiring at the USO. (The tournament was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid.)You want to end up as Carlos Bernardes!? Scared for your physical and material well-being!? Not smart, buddy, not smart at all.

You would umpire all Nadal matches wrong calls, he isn't allowed to ask for a challenge, if he has mp(s) you will dsq himthat's some great news!

Your post is evidence that you have no idea how the serve clock is operated.I'd happily introduce OCDal to the shot clock. Same goes for Bouncovic.
Glad you have read some rules.Before you go to bed tonight, you have to recite this.
29. CONTINUOUS PLAY
As a principle, play should be continuous, from the time the match starts (when the first service of the match is put in play) until the match finishes.
a. Between points, a maximum of twenty-five (25) seconds is allowed. When the players change ends at the end of a game, a maximum of ninety (90) seconds are allowed. However, after the first game of each set and during a tie-break game, play shall be continuous and the players shall change ends without a rest. At the end of each set there shall be a set break of a maximum of one hundred and twenty (120) seconds. The maximum time starts from the moment that one point finishes until the first service is struck for the next point. Event organisers may apply for ITF approval to extend the ninety (90) seconds allowed when the players change ends at the end of a game and the one hundred and twenty (120) seconds allowed at a set break.
b. If, for reasons outside the player’s control, clothing, footwear or necessary equipment (excluding the racket) is broken or needs to be replaced, the player may be allowed reasonable extra time to rectify the problem.
c. No extra time shall be given to allow a player to recover condition. However, a player suffering from a treatable medical condition may be allowed one medical time-out of three minutes for the treatment of that medical condition. A limited number of toilet/change of attire breaks may also be allowed, if this is announced in advance of the event.
d. Event organisers may allow a rest period of a maximum of ten (10) minutes if this is announced in advance of the event. This rest period can be taken after the 3rd set in a best of 5 sets match, or after the 2nd set in a best of 3 sets match.
e. The warm-up time shall be a maximum of five (5) minutes, unless otherwise decided by the event organisers.
i remember this video where he was wearing a beautiful orange straight-jacket and said he was well-treated while holding a 3-months old newspaper... call me optimistic, but i'm sure carlos is doing fine down thereYeah, after he received an offer he couldn't refuse!
Have you seen on the serve clock how many seconds he has gone over the time-limit?Rafa has gone over the allowed time without punishment a lot. stop cheating the readers!
The poor guy had a heart attack not long ago. Only God knows what is happening behind the scenes. One thing is for sure, you don't mess with the family. You, never do that...i remember this video where he was wearing a beautiful orange straigh-jacket and said he was well-treated while holding a 3-months old newspaper... call me optimistic, but i'm sure carlos is doing fine down there
(... isn't he?)
C.Bernardes suffered a heart attack in Melbourne ahead of the 2021 AO:The poor guy had a heart attack not long ago. Only God knows what is happening behind the scenes. One thing is for sure, you don't mess with the family. You, never do that...
If it was up to the Nadal hater brigade the serve clock would be pressed the moment the last ball leaves the strings after a 30 ball rally.Spoken like someone who disapproves of the rules being enforced correctly.
Those are rare, players should be able to withstand a couple without gasping for air the moment it's over. If you find yourself getting constantly drawn into 20+shot rallies, play more efficiently. At any rate, don't waste spectators' time catching your breath and excessively toweling off, nor bouncing the ball double digit times or otherwise delaying serve. Do the decent thing for once and don't approve of stalling.If it was up to the Nadal hater brigade the serve clock would be pressed the moment the last ball leaves the strings after a 30 ball rally.
The ATP Tour has started to implement the serve clock in the summer of 2018. It amazes me that you haven't still understood how the serve clock is operated. The chair umpire triggers the serve clock and gives the server 25 seconds to start his service motion. The server has to monitor the serve clock and stay within the 25-second time limit. It doesn't matter what the server is doing during those 25 seconds before starting his service motion.Those are rare, players should be able to withstand a couple without gasping for air the moment it's over.

I rather a player take 5 extra seconds to catch his/her breath, towel off the sweat and be ready to perform as close to his/her potential which in turn will offer the spectators the best show possible.
But some people love to cry over those 5 extra seconds between points because they have some undiagnosed ADD and can’t watch tennis for too long.
