Djokovic share his views on chair umpires

After his series of victories and becoming the Golden Master this year, Novak Djokovic continues to lift up the Laver Cup trophy in the US. Post his win in Chicago, Djokovic opened up his views about the controversies which took place at the US Open. Djokovic also spoke about Serena’s disgraceful circumstances in her home country. He felt that Carlos Ramos made a wrong move during the women’s final match at the Flushing Meadows.

In addition to that, Djokovic referred to Nick Kyrgios’ incident, where Mohamed Lahyani had a pep talk with him. “ Look, they are all human beings, as well. We have to understand that they can’t always be at their best, although I have to, you know, kind of stay on the players’ side and I fully agree with players when they say that, you know, if we make some mistake, so to say, whether we, you know, violate certain rules verbally or in any way break a racquet or whatever that is, we get warning”, said Djokovic.

Even the slightest of the mistakes by the tennis officials can change the outcome of the match. Djokovic also shares his emotions and experiences while playing a match and the regards towards the officials during a match. He says “I have been part of that heated exchanges couple of times, you know, with the chair umpires, and it’s in the midst of kind of a fight on the court and a battle. Sometimes you just feel that a call is not what it’s supposed to be, I mean, at least in your opinion, and then you get into an argument.”

Also, he agrees with the fact that no person is always absolutely right. There are times when the player is right during an argument with the umpire. As he added, “I don’t deny that I was wrong, you know, in those arguments before. Some of them I was right. But in general, I think that we should all be responsible for our actions, yeah.”
