Apparently this info on Hawkeye is in the WTA,ATP, ITF rulebooks.<BR/><BR/>One really important thing to remember as well - is that the main function of Hawkeye is not really to be "more accurate" or accurate, per se but to be **impartial**.... remember the Serena incident<BR/>Stats do show that ambiguous/close calls tend to go in favour of highly ranked/more popular players....<BR/>For starters you can look at this thread about the Tsonga-Roddick incident and read explanation by woodrow1029.... starting #43 it is very informative.... unfortunately there is someone else on board who is unnecesarily argumentative<BR/>http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=229265&page=3<BR/><BR/><BR/>more recent post just read by same person - see #91 and #96 and others<BR/>http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=251150&page=5<BR/><BR/><BR/>Some info on how it works from the Hawkeye page here<BR/>http://www.hawkeyeinnovations.co.uk/?page_id=1011bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14019201471892514912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-29691842396413872132009-03-22T22:15:00.000-05:002009-03-22T22:15:00.000-05:00Hi bI read your comments on Craig's blog.

I read a lot here but usually comment at craig's site<BR/><BR/>maybe I should have posted this elsewhere but wanted to point out that the umpire cannot actually overrule the hawkeye system - hawkeye actually has its own certified umpire who is equal in authority to the guy on the court<BR/><BR/>if i can find a link to explain this i will send to you - i always wondered after there was an incident between roddick and an umpire earlier in the year where roddick wanted a challenge and he was out of challenges but (as it turned out later) the umpire hadn't been keeping track properly and the haweye umpire refused, stating that roddick was out... eventually he got his challenge but apparently the haweye umpire had the right to refuse and he was correctbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14019201471892514912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-34849937785216681162009-03-21T13:16:00.000-05:002009-03-21T13:16:00.000-05:00He's got a lot of nerve demeaning ANYONE when his ...He's got a lot of nerve demeaning ANYONE when his own jailbird brother is a person who killed someone. I guess his parents give tons of dough to charity and to tennis so he is secure. If they didn't get rid of him after the Kournikova thing, nothing will get rid of him. The doting parents raised two nut job sons.

I don't know what he has done to deserve their wrath but I get the feeling he knows he's being thrown under the bus and it showed in his depressed, listless, uninterested play today.Even Roddick said Djok didn't play a good match today. Maybe someone here can figure it out. Gimelslob was very anti-Djok today too. I didn't hear this myself but I guess Slob also made some comment about Andreev before the Tsonga match predicting Andreev would lose and Andreev could have Kirilenko as a consolation prize.

His commentary oozes with how Murray will win Wimbledon, etc. I also saw that at the end Slob interviewed Murray on court and asked how he liked going to dinner with him the other night and the ride home.Murray said something like the dinner was fine. He also blathered about the new PR firm Andy hired, the same one David Beckham had.I get the feeling that the PR firm Murray hired to get him known globally is starting right now in the US with Slob as his mouthpiece.<BR/>Another thing, during the match,Sam Gore remarked to Slob that Murray was probably trying to overtake #3 and Slob said he knew it would happen before Wimbledon.<BR/>Also, they showed a graphic with the names of the top 10 players and Sam asked Slob to comment on all their backhands. Slob went down the list commenting on everyone of the names EXCEPT Djok. I guess the push is in to “shun” Djok on Murray’s behalf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
