Hawk-Eye has a fan.
And not just any fan. Andy Roddick, who openly wished for an instant replay system last year after receiving what he thought was a bad call in his RCA Championships quarterfinal loss to Robby Ginepri, gives the new system a thumbs up.
Indianapolis is the second ATP Tour event to use the Hawk-Eye electronic line calling system. It will be used in the remaining U.S. Open Series events and the U.S. Open. Roddick would like it to be used everywhere.
“First of all, it takes some heat off the officials,” Roddick said. “I think you see a lot less arguing. It’s up to us whether we truly believe if it’s in or out. The fans want to see you challenge right or wrong. On TV, I think it adds a certain sense of drama.
