Australian John Blom will be the chair umpire.

I have no idea who that is. Unusual for a final.

John has officiated in many matches at the AO and overseas he is a gold badge umpire

I have no doubt of his credentials. I think you have to be a gold badge umpire to do a Major final, no? Probably I'll recognize the face. (Or the voice, which we get more of.)

John is a type of umpire who is there to make sure players adhere to the rules,he is not one of these umpires that want to take over and be like the star of the show,I could name some umpires that do lol!.In saying that he wont take any nonsense from players.,from what I have noticed when he has been chair umpire.

Nope, I don't recognize him, but I can't say the gesture inspires confidence.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist that. I'm sure he'll do a fine job.
