[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ramos enforced the rules. It’s not his job to compare himself or his actions to other umpires who handle rules differently. It’s his job to enforce the rules. Not doing so is like the excuse “everyone else does it, so I should, too”.[/quote]

BS. You do not know tennis.  It would be disruptive to the game to rigidly apply the rules. The job of a chair umpire is not to rigidly apply the rules. There are many rules on the books that would cause an uproar if applied. Reasonable judgement is expected by persons in authority. A reasonable umpire avoids inserting themselves into a match. Carlos is nuts and has had several run ins with other players.

It is the job of the ATP and WTA to ensure rules are enforced consistently. They've made it clear that a more lenient standard is expected. Giving a warning can affect the outcome of a match. Good chair umpires insert themselves in the most extreme cases.

Men change their shirts all the time on court and have done this for decades with no repurcussions. Alize Cornet was warned for turning her shirt because it was inside out. I assume, pp, you are ok with this sexist decision. A male player has never been warned for this. It's the same with coaching. [u]Players are never called for coaching[/u][u]. Foot faults are rarely called as well. Giving a player a warning is so unsettling during a match that it can affect the outcome.
