Reply to comment by Villageidiot1984 in Tennis umpire handed lifetime ban for manipulating scoring by PrincessBananas85

If an umpire makes regular hard overrules on vital points multiples times in a match they'll be under a microscope in no time. There's no way they'd get away with that if you want to affect more than one match

I’m just replying to the idea that there are too many points in a match for an umpire to make a difference with a few calls. They easily could.

I didn't say that. I said they are worth less because there are so many. In football for example the difference between 1-1 or 1-2 is huge, and decided by only one call. There are hundreds of points in a tennis match and thus, manipulating just a handful has a much smaller impact overall.
