Moving on, the last event of 2020 will not have line judges at any match. This has been done to reduce the number of people on the court and instead, they will be using Hawk-Eye Live. They are not the first ones to use it as the Cincinnati Masters used it a few months ago.
Clearly, the ATP Finals have put in many restrictions and some people may not be happy with it. However, it is necessary for the event to be conducted safely. Let’s hope that we see a successful tournament when it begins on November 15th.
