The Joker is getting his own back.

What with this and his attempt at forming a breakaway pro tennis circuit he is clearly taking on the ATP big time.

Replace the players with technology too.

I would say the technology is also very close to replace human players with robots.

Djokovic. He's certifiable. As suggested, why don't 'we' replace the players with robots. And just dispense with tradition altogether.

Djokovic's suggestion would surely be considered constructive if he was not defaulted at the last U.S. Open.

So the line judge/line umpires will lose their job.

Cost? The line judge has a salary, which likely offsets a decent portion of the cost in technology. While it's true he was dq'd recently, but I don't think it changes the point or merits.

He must think that robots will rule more in his favor.
