Topic: Player Challenges -- Are they good or bad for pro tennis?: inning of the essay about Player Challenges. I hope it intrigues you and provokes a debate on this important issue. Essay Copyright 2007 by Paul Fein IS THIS THE SPORT WE WANT? “Sport is entertainment, of course. But it must be credible.” − Francesco Ricci Bitti, president of the International Tennis Federation “Hey, Roger, while you’re down on the court making history, can you also call your own lines – even the ones 80 feet away?” ridiculed veteran TV analyst Mary Carillo, openly making fun of the Player Challenge system during the Federer-Gonzalez final at the 2007 Australian Open. Patrick McEnroe, the U.S. Davis Cup captain (and also a TV analyst), disagrees completely. “Anyone who is against Player Challenges,” he declared, as fans cheered the Hawk-Eye technology adjudicating close line calls on the stadium video screen, “is out of their minds!” Who’s right? And why? Purpose of Officiating — The raison d’etre of sports officiating is fairness by means of the impartial application of the rules. For tennis line-calling, fairness means accuracy, getting it right. Bill Tilden, an imperious 1920s superstar, insisted that a linesperson’s error often decided a match as much as a player’s performance. He even worked as a linesman himself on occasion. One can easily imagine Tilden’s frustration in a sport where extremely close line calls abound. He was competing for prestigious titles in an amateur era when big-time tennis relied largely on untrained volunteers. Happily, today Hawk-Eye’s 10 high-resolution cameras track the trajectory of the ball and exact location of the bounce to within 3 millimeters. That is near-perfect 99.9 percent accuracy! Replays can be shown from any angle within two seconds and can be sent to a monitor, handheld device, or mobile phone. In theory, players shouldn’t have to worry about a thing. And they certainly shouldn’t have to call their own lines or challenge questionable line calls made by others. Therefore, it’s nothing less than a tragic irony that Player Challenges, the system used to implement marvelous Hawk-Eye technology, frequently result in bad line calls. The Limits of Human Vision — The 13 factors that make accurate line-calling difficult and sometimes virtually impossible for tennis players are as follows: Amazon.com has listed "Tennis Confidential II," Tennis Confidential" and "You Can Quote Me On That" as the top three tennis books for the past three months. I hope you will check them out. I welcome your informed views. Paul Fein Tennis Writer P.S.

Comment for: Ron Eng: xpressed here. I have absolutely no problem finding people to play tennis with. My problem is having to say no to a lot of people who want to play with me. I have this park that I go to that has a core group of about 50 players. You never have to set up a game. Just show up & within a half an hour, you're playing a game on a court. One time, I was parking my car by the tennis courts. A guy rushed up & opened my door, grabbed my tennis bag from my back seat & said they're waiting for me on court 4. As I was walking to court 4 with this guy carrying my bag, 2 other courts called out to ask if I would play with them. Once while I was watching a local recreational tennis tournament & this man came to sit & watch next to me on the park bench. After the match he told me that his girl friend had asked him to ask me if I would like to become their league teams' tennis coach. I told him that I wasn't a coach, just a player. He said they don't care, & would also even pay me. I declined because of the 1 hr drive I would have to do every time I was to go to their club. Currently, I don't belong to any indoor tennis facilities, but am invited to play in many indoor clubs as a guest. Many times, I'm the 'ugly 8th' girl on the court with 7 other woman. I'm a self taught player who has very unconventional views on racquets, strings, tensions, & training techniques. However, I completely agree with you that the returning of serves which are clearly out is unwarranted. I think they should also limit pre-serve ball bouncing to 1. Also if your toss is bad, you can't catch the ball to serve again with no penalty. One other bragging thing I have is once I played in a singles tennis final that had a referee & ball boys & girls. They were using this tournament to give the ball boys & girls practice just before a semi pro tournament the club was hosting. I don't watch too much TV tennis. They play a completely different game than I. Sometimes, I watch the women's game on TV. My current favorites are Daniella Hantuchova, Maria Kirilenko, & Roger Federer. Where I disagree with you is that my all time professional dislikes are: Jimmy Conners, John McEnroe, Andre Agassi, & Ille Nastase. I always root for whomever is playing against these people. I don't like them because of their tennis skills, but because of their childish unethical behaviour on court. These are the types of people I just love to beat on the court. In closing my long winded rant, I hope you enjoy a very successful tennis year, Mark. Ron…; Added by Ron Eng at 1:47pm on February 7, 2008
