Hawkeye challenge system to be overhauled
ALL tennis tournaments using an electronic replay system will offer players the same amount of challenges each match.In a move to remove confusion over the allowable number of Hawk-Eye challenges, tennis officials have decided the Australian Open and Wimbledon quota of three unsuccessful challenges a set will be the limit.
Players would have a maximum of three unsuccessful challenges a set, plus one wrong challenge in a tiebreak, the International Tennis Federation said.
Players can make an unlimited number of correct challenges.
Previously, the men’s and women’s pro tours offered two unsuccessful challenges a set, plus one in the tiebreak.
The ITF’s team competitions, including the Davis Cup and the Fed Cup, had unlimited challenges. Herald Sun
