[QUOTE="forder89, post: 2191239, member: 769095"] they don't use hawkeye because it isn't needed as much as on other surfaces. on clay the ball leaves much clearer impressions when it hits the floor, so if there is any debate on whether a ball is in or not the players and umpire can see the mark for themselves to clear it up. not using hawkeye also means that the umpires have to actually do something every once in a while by checking the mark, unlike in most tournaments where they just read out scores and stay in the chair all match and let hawkeye do the work. the fans appreciate it when the umpire checks a mark anyway. not using the hawkeye system will also save money, which can go on other things in the tournament or whatever. and yes, after the match djokovic lost, hawkeye showed that his shot was actually in. :):):) [/QUOTE]
