ATP won't install Hawkeye Live despite glaring error with Djokovic incident
ATPMonday, 17 April 2023 at 10:33
The chief of the Monte-Carlo Masters confirmed to the media that they don't plan on installing Hawk-Eye despite a pretty big error in the Novak Djokovic match.
Novak Djokovic was in disbelief when a ball he saw as out was called in by the umpire. Even after inspecting it, the umpire still upheld the ruling that the ball was in with the replay showing it to be a big out. Djokovic was enraged by the call ultimately losing focus which contributed to his loss overall.
It wasn't the reason why he lost but it didn't help either. Considering that we have tech that pretty much eliminates all of these errors it makes zero sense to carry on with the old way however that is what the event plans on doing. The chief confirmed it after the event ended:
"We are very satisfied with our human linesmen."

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
