The officials who determine if a shot has struck safely within a line, or is out. They haven't gotten around yet to calling a linesperson, but they certainly should because a great number of them are women. Actually, regardless of sex, it is one of the worst jobs in the world. If you do it perfectly, no one notices or thanks you for it. On the other hand, you've a very good chance of being subjected to vilification if you make a call that one of the many bad actors on tennis circuit these days doesn't like. What's more, a conscientious linesperson glues his/her eyes to one particular line, and can't ever really relax and enjoy watching the match.
