Question about Pro Tennis rules (touch call)

In professional tennis, who decides if the ball touched the racquet? Please explain this to me (and everyone else). There is too much confusion about this.

Is it the chair umpire?

The player who didn't touch the ball?

The opponent who made a scene because he thought the other player touched the ball?

Or a bunch of clueless posters who don't even know tennis rules?

Troll thread. Move on. Don't respond.

Everyone please ignore this troll. He has already been reported numerous times for trolling, vulgar language, and antagonistic behavior, and should be banned shortly for repeated violations of forum rules. Let's keep this discussion on-topic.
 
gj is obviously referring to the Blake-Gonzo situation from a yr ago @ the Olympics, which every impartial viewer agrees Gonzo was somewhat in the wrong for, and not "totally fair'', as gj011 claims.

Obvious troll trying to get a response out of me. Congrats, you've suceeded. Is that your life's goal? If so, two words of advice-dream higher.
 
Huh..? :?

What kind of topic is this? What is the reason for this topic? :?

Suppose you are at the net and your opponent hacks a wild passing shot that is going way out. If it touches your racquet, then technically you lose the point. Do you understand the context now?
