Bird’s eye view, Chair umpire, Wimbledon, England June 2014, Who would want to be an umpire? At least the job is a little easier now that John McEnroe has retired! Around 42 chair umpires are assigned each day during The Championships, calling two matches a day, although not necessarily on the same court. Many travel around the world and work at all the major tennis tournaments and Grand Slams. The nature of the outside courts at Wimbledon allow you to get quite close to the action hence I was able to take this close up shot. The world’s most famous tennis clubhouse, surrounding Centre Court, creates the strong line in the background.
