Q: I have never seen the umpire leave the court. Do they have breaks? How will they manage if they need the toilet? And can they order food and drinks at their seats?
Colin in Manchester, Ruth in London, Russell in Bournemouth and Sarah in Worcester
Answer: If umpires perform more than one duty per day there will be a break between matches. If they need a rest break during the match, it is allowed – although they try their best to avoid it. They cannot order food to their chairs but small items like bananas can be brought and they will ensure they carry enough water with them.
Q: Can umpires overturn electronic decisions?
Billy in Cleland
Answer: No, electronic decisions made by systems like Hawk-Eye are final. Players also cannot challenge these decisions.
Q: What is on the umpire’s iPad/tablet?
Lucy at Redhill
Answer: Umpires will use tournament management software during matches to assist with scoring and other data.
