Mohamed lahyani salary slip

Giorgio Tarantola was a chair umpire from 1990 to 2008. He, then, became the Lugano Challenger Tournament Director and may run the ATP Monza in 2020. Recently, Tarantola spoke about the system of umpires in tennis. "Umpires are usually former good players, not strong ones, but in general you have to start early, since when you are very young, in order to learn more about the methods and rules. When I was an umpire on the ATP Tour, I was getting $1,000 a week, plus paid expenses," he told AGI.

Now the top 31 umpires like Carlos Bernardes, Kader Nouni, Mohamed Lahyani, Fergus Murphy, Cedric Mourier and Gianluca Moscarella among the others get $1,500 a week. They are also able to umpire Davis Cup matches for the International Tennis Federation which can bring you up to €60-70,000 a year, working 25 weeks. Are umpires intimidated by the best players? "I umpired world No. 1s, but there is not a lot of time to think about who is on the court, instead, you'd better not think about it. When you are an umpire, you apply the rulebook and you only try to do your best, in front of so many people. There is not a kind of favoritism but it can happen that the tournament supervisor, does not make an umpire serve in a match. There is also a blacklist, it means umpires asking not to serve during matches of certain players."

Meanwhile, Mikhail Youzhny commented on his new co-operation with Denis Shapovalov: "His team asked Boris Sobkin about me and then called me. We agreed to spend together tournaments in the USA: Cincinnati, Winston Salem, US Open. I couldn't be on time for Cincinnati, so we started from Winston Salem. Also, we will be in New York. We take short views".

The other controversial US Open chair umpire has been punished.

With all the attention on Carlos Ramos, who clashed with Serena Williams in the women’s final and penalized her a game, Mohamed Lahyani was somewhat forgotten. The Swedish umpire, however, was suspended for two weeks without pay by the ATP Tour after his on-court pep talk with Nick Kyrgios during the Open. Lahyani tried to help Kyrgios in his second-round match with Pierre-Hugues Herbert with the Australian bad boy trailing by a set on Aug. 30.

“I want to help you,” Lahyani said to Kyrgios. “This isn’t you. I know that.”

Kyrgios prevailed to advance and said the talk didn’t affect his performance. Others, however, disagreed.

“I think this was not his job,” Herbert said. “I don’t think he’s a coach; he’s an umpire and he should stay on his chair for that.

“He was there for too long,” Roger Federer added. “It’s a conversation. Conversations can change your mindset. It can be a physio, a doctor, an umpire for that matter. That’s why it won’t happen again. I think everybody knows that.”

Lahyani wasn’t suspended at the Open, but he didn’t handle any noteworthy singles matches after the Kyrgios incident. The tournament organizers said he “went beyond protocol” and he was “advised to adhere to proper protocols in all matches that he officiates moving forward.”

One of seven full-time chair umpires on the ATP Tour, Lahyani will miss the China Open in Beijing and the Shanghai Masters, The New York Times reported. He is expected to return to work at the Stockholm event that begins Oct. 15.

“Despite the incident taking place at the U.S. Open, under the jurisdiction of the United States Tennis Association, the incident was still subject to ATP disciplinary action due to Lahyani’s position as full-time ATP employee and the high standards the ATP requires of its chair umpires regardless

Swedish tennis umpire (born 1966)

Mohamed Lahyani (born 27 June 1966) is a Swedish tennis umpire. He is a Gold Badge Chair Umpire certified by the Association of Tennis Professionals. He is noted for presiding over the longest match in professional tennis history at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships. He was briefly suspended in 2018 for words of encouragement to Nick Kyrgios during a US Open match between Kyrgios and Pierre-Hugues Herbert.

Early life

Lahyani was born in Morocco in 1966. His family emigrated to Sweden when he was a child.

Career

Over the course of his career Lahyani officiated many high profile matches at both Grand Slam and ATP tournaments, including the 2013 Wimbledon Men's Singles Final, and the 2008, 2010, 2013, 2017, and 2020 ATP World Tour Finals' Finals.

Lahyani was also the Chair Umpire at the longest match in pro tennis history: the Isner–Mahut match at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships. Lahyani later said he was so gripped by "an amazing match" that he couldn't even think of "eating or needing a bathroom'. After the match, he was presented with a crystal bowl, a Wimbledon tie and silver cufflinks.

When a Canadian tennis reporter Tom Tebbutt surveyed a number of tennis journalists at the 2014 ATP World Tour Finals, the majority voted Lahyani as the best Chair Umpire. Lahyani is particularly known for a very distinctive way he often announces the score, toning it up or down depending on the score. For instance, when the server faces two break points, Lahyani would announce the score as "fifteen-FORTY", with an emphasis on "FORTY".

At the 2018 US Open Lahyani made headlines after his controversial behaviour during the match bet
