The one when he gave Kyrgios a pep talk, because it perfectly demonstrated that Lahyani is not a fair chair umpire. Lahyani considers himself a celebrity and always seeks spotlight. It is a SHAME that ATP is idolizing a Chair Umpire who is supposed to be neutral and should live under the radar...This video is extremely inappropriate to be released now, given that Lahyani is not even retiring. Did you see English Premiere League did any videos 'appreciating' a referee BEFORE the referee retires??? Is there a lack of new tennis player stars such that ATP has to promote a chair umpire??? Pathetic...

He's the best umpire because you can tell he really enjoys he's job, other umpires out there seem like they're just doing it for the pay check

Worst umpire IMO, usually bias as you can see with what he did with Kyrgois in the US Open 2018 against Herbert, and he even gave a game penalty to Brydan Klein who called himself "stupid" after he choked a return

Mohamed Lahyani is a legend. No other umpire like him, not now and not before. One of a kind professional and entertainer! 💚💚

This is a gold mine. Mo is one of the best umpires around and arguably the biggest personality in the chair. Nadal said this year that losing the ballboys, linesmen, and ballboys on court would diminish the sport's aura, and Mohamed Lahyani is a shining example of the positive addition these non-player entities have to the game of tennis.

He's the only umpire that REALLY actually likes tennis and doesn't want the players to fight but instead play brilliant tennis! (As it should be)

I'll never forget being in the stands for Montreal 2017 when he was losing his voice. Every other score sounded like a question, rising at the end. The crowd really feeds off of his energy.

@younglord3432

2 жыл бұрын

But your real ancestry is the way we suppose to identify you as a person not by the concept or idea of naturalization. Although some nationalisation policies in certain countries strictly refuse dual citizenship, so you must give up on your origin. You spoke about the case of misha zverev, adding a conclusion of the "chaotic" mixology of racial makeup these days. Well actually i don't think there's actually a racial difference between a german and a russian if we looked back on history. They are both nordic Caucasians, per example if u told me misha was Scandinavian or french or even italian. I would definitely not doubt it. Moroccans are way excluded in that mixology , they generically look like the people from middle east or native north africaans ( berbers) whom Mohamed is from. But i agree with u from a philosophical psychological point of view, cause he immigrated to sweden as a baby, so growing up in a totaly different ambiance ( cultural atmosphere and language) those two terms will have a highly impact on the way you think, and obviously the way you think is expressing one's identity. So i'll definitely agree he's swedish 🙃

The GOAT official in tennis! He is the only official who has the audacity to make the boldest call overrules and he is precise and correct almost all the time...Wish other officials were as confident in their skills and calls!

Yes! So glad a vid about this guy has been made.

And he is from my home country, Morocco

What not to like about him? He injects the fun, the joy, the personality and the excitement to a job that sometimes audience forget that even exists in the court. He made some great calls and some not-so-great ones but that is tennis. Nothing is perfect. Appreciate a talent that doesn't even hit any balls in court.

A staple of the ATP tour, so many memories with him, may he continue umping for many more years!

As far as I can remember Lahyani has always been nice and smiling. Seeing him officiating one of the major finals always warms our hearts. Tennis TV thanks for recognising the immense contribution that these on court non players make to take the sport of tennis to new heights.

This guy is mastering one of the hardest jobs out there. Hats off!

He's always been my favorite PIRE! Can you imagine having the best seat in the house during the reign of the BIG 3 era?! Best job on earth and he's the coolest PIRE of all!

Wow, never seen Lahyani with full hair. The very first clip with Sampras really shocked me. He has been on the tour for a really long time. He is one of the few umpires who care about the players. I remember when he supported Kyrgios and invited him to play better, but not as a judge or a coach, but as a person who cared about the player. Like in the video when he advised Djokovic to change his racket because he broke his strings. He likes his work and always has a smile. My favorite umpire on tour.

I so love it when he says GAME so loudly 👌🏽👍🏽 Especially Game Federer, Game Djokovic, Game Zverev.

Mohamed Lahyani is my favorite umpire. He's fair, and keeps as lighthearted as posible. I remember watching the Kyrgios vs Herbert match at the 2018 U.S. Open when, of course, the former was being a jerk, tanking the match. Lahyani came down from his chair to talk to him. I thought it was unusual, but no big deal. He got so much flack after that, he was "demoted" to umpiring doubles' matches on obscure courts, smh. Glad he made his way back :-).

In my eyes he is the best in the business
