Tennis to use instant replay

It's called the Hawk-Eye. It will be used in 10 US Open series events leading up to the US Open, the first grand slam to use it.
each player would get two challenges per set. They lose if the call stands.
Then they get an additional challenge during a tie break. Challenges can't be carried over from one set to another.
It's a push by Americans, as this is where it will debut.
We'll see if it is controversial aor not, if it solves the problems of bad calls or if that is just part of the game. Seems if someone's ever received a bad call, it balances out when they get a call for them later on. Still, I like that the refs go upstairs in hockey now, so it could be only good. Plus it will stop the whiners who complain that everybody hates them.

See, I hate it all ready...I like the whiners...who was the guy who recently asked the chair person how much was he being paid by the opponent for making the calls... ...Take the color out of the game why don't you...is not like it has fights like hockey...

Except for me, the ones who whine are the ones I usually can't stand.

I know, I know...but the world can't be made up of only mild manner Swedes like Borg...Borg needed Johnny Mac to make it an epic battle...or Conners for that matter...

I'll give you Connors - I loved that relationship - but i could never take MacEnroe. i appreciate him much more as a commentator.
