It’s time to take stock Montecarlo pour David Masseytournament director who was able to witness the great victory of Stefanos Tsitsipas who has regained his splendor on the Rock. If the Greek made headlines this week, so did the refereeing errors. Particularly during his match against Jannik Sinner.

Good news for some, bad news for others, this type of mishap will not happen again next year. Finally, we don’t know if there will be no more errors, but the players will not be able to blame the linesmen, simply because there will be more. News that is not entirely to the taste of the tournament director.

This decision has been confirmed, and unless the ATP changes its mind, there will be no more linesman next year here. he first explained at a press conference, before going further during Bartoli Time on RMC : “I don’t know what the future of refereeing will become, because it’s still the path to becoming a chair umpire, to see how they will manage that. I think it’s a shame, but at the same time, we are of course ready to evolve…”
