CAMELOT FANTASIES

I couldn't agree more. I am so sick of this targeting "umpiring." All of these cases involve Spaniards. Meanwhile, Kyrgios hits a ball out of the part and the umpire says he didn't see it.

Enough is enough as more players demand improvements from the umpires
Tennis - It is a subject which is currently gripping the ATP Tour as more players scrutinise the fairness of the umpires.

Earlier this week, Feliciano Lopez told the media that more needs to be done to ensure that match umpires treat every player on the court in the same manor. His comments came following a heated dispute with Carlos Bernardes regarding a point penalty which he received during the first round of the Madrid Masters. During the argument the Spaniard said that Bernardes 'doesn't have the balls to say something to other players'. Lopez is however not the only player to have this opinion as more players are now speaking out and calling for the ATP to do more to tackle the issue.
Rafael Nadal has also experienced confrontations with the umpires in the past regarding the rules. During the second round of the Barcelona Open he received a time violation warning. Players are only allowed to take a 30-second rest between points. Nadal accused his match opponent, Nicolas Almagro, of pressuring the umpire to give the warning.

"Everyone does what they want, but it's not very nice when a colleague (Almagro) is pressuring the umpire." Nadal said.
Time violation warnings are nothing new to the world No:4 as he received yet another one during yesterday's encounter against Grigor Dimitrov. Reflecting back over that specific warning, Nadal said that sometimes he feels that the umpires 'are only watching their watch' and called for them to improve on other rules.

"The umpires have to be a little bit better on the other rules. Have to be a little bit better taking positions like last what happened in Estoril. They didn't take the right decision in a very important moment". Nadal said.

"Things have to be fair for everybody, not just one particular person. In my opinion, there is another lot of worse things happening on the other side of the net that are for sure not the best example for the kids or even for anybody", he added.

Another incident occurred during a match between Nick Krygios and Albert Ramos-Vinolas at the Portugal Open. During the extremely tense deciding set tie-break, the young Australian blasted a ball outside of the court in which he didn't receive a penalty. The umpire told Ramos-Vinolas that he couldn't penalize Krygios because 'he didn't see him do it' which left the Spanish player understandably furious.

The calls for change are becoming clearer, however there is yet to be any visible sign of action from the ATP. Until there is, expect more on court drama to happen in the near future.
