Answer
AI(b) Five duties of the Chair Umpire in Tennis:
1. Maintain official scoring: Announce the score after each point, game, and set, and keep the official scorecard.
2. Rule enforcement and adjudication: Enforce ITF rules and code of conduct, making final calls on facts (such as overruling line umpires when a clear mistake is observed).
3. Conduct pre-match procedures: Supervise the coin toss, brief the players, and manage the official warm-up period.
4. Time management: Monitor and enforce time limits between points (shot clock), change of ends (90 seconds), set breaks (120 seconds), and medical time-outs.
5. Code violations and discipline: Issue warnings, point penalties, game penalties, or default players for unsportsmanlike conduct, audible profanity, or racquet abuse.
