Novak Djokovic has hit a line judge again, this time in the face - prompting him to call for a massive change to tennis.
"With all my respect for the tradition and culture we have in this sport, when it comes to people present on the court during a match, including line umpires, I don't see why every single tournament in the world, in this technological advanced era, would not have what we had during Cincinnati/New York tournament," he said.
"Of course, I understand technology is expensive, so it's an economical issue and a question mark. But I feel like we are all moving towards that and sooner or later, there is no reason to keep line umpire. Djokovic made sure of an 11th straight French quarter-final and extended his Open-era record at Roland Garros by beating Khachanov 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, with the roof shut on Chatrier to keep out the persistent rain.
