DeepSeek:
The number of times tennis players have complained about line calls on clay courts is not systematically tracked, making an exact count impossible. However, the nature of clay courts—where the ball leaves a visible mark—reduces disputes compared to other surfaces. Here’s a breakdown of key factors:
1. Clay Court Dynamics:
- Players and officials can inspect ball marks to verify line calls, which minimizes ambiguity. This system often leads to fewer complaints than on grass or hard courts, where electronic challenges (e.g., Hawk-Eye) are used.
2. Tournament Context:
- At clay-court events like the French Open, players request mark inspections instead of electronic reviews. While data on complaints isn’t public, umpire inspections typically resolve disputes quickly, reducing prolonged arguments.
3. Anecdotal Evidence:
- High-profile disputes (e.g., Serena Williams’ 2018 French Open incident) show that disagreements can occur when players contest an umpire’s interpretation of a mark. Such cases are rare but memorable.
4. Comparative Frequency:
- Studies suggest clay courts have higher call accuracy due to visible marks, leading to fewer overall complaints. However, occasional disagreements persist, often tied to human judgment in reading marks.
In conclusion, while complaints on clay courts are less frequent than on other surfaces, they still occur sporadically. The exact number remains unquantified due to lack of centralized tracking, but the clay surface’s inherent transparency generally fosters fewer disputes.
Opinion:
I think it's a good move to use electric line just like Hawkeye.
It takes away human subjectivities.
Don't think players will be against it.
