Tennis officiating faces renewed pressure to overhaul match guidelines after Andy Roddick proposed a major rule change at the US Open. The demand targets Alexander Zverev's serving routine, which has drawn increasing scrutiny during the tournament.

Former player Sam Querrey also weighed in on the serving controversy, calling it "kind of brutal." The push comes as Zverev overcame what he described as "horrible" early rounds to reach the 2026 US Open final against Ben Shelton, who eliminated Frances Tiafoe. Tensions had already escalated when Karen Khachanov voiced criticism after facing Zverev, to which the German responded that he had "no idea why." Will tennis governing bodies take action on Roddick's proposed change ahead of the championship?
