[QUOTE="FrankTHETANK, post: 2191280, member: 118617"] I'm guessing that the reason why the French Open doesn't use the Hawk Eye thing is because they pretty much don't need it, because the surface of the the court is clay. Therefore the print of the tennis ball can be easily seen. Another reason is probably cause then it takes the orignality of the use of line judges. It is obviously true that humans can't always make the right calls...such as the umpire'ss call during the yesterday's game that costed Armando Galarraga a perfect pitch game. Some people are afraid that the use of such technology would only cause tons of delays...Such as football [/QUOTE]
