Do you hate the challange system?

Question

Well i hate it since it removes even the minute chances of controversy on the line call which can sometimes lighten up a dead match!!

Answer 1

It reinforces the tennis rules on line calls. Makes line judges vigilant and better. If a call stands, line judges are praised. If the challenge says otherwise, then line judges should become better the next time another call comes around. Likewise, it also spares the players from bad feelings about controversial calls

Answer 2

No!! It's fun!

Answer 3

ok so if u think that the challenge system has taken away chance of controversies in Tennis...then u must not be a TRUE tennis fans...u must those paparazzi type fan who likes to search for controversies....

Tennis matches are never dead..they are boring for SOME people sometimes...coz maybe none of the players playing a match are from their own country or maybe they have not heard much abt the players playing that match...eg Robin Haase and Juan Monaco..only few others apart from holland and argentine fans will watch this match..coz to them the match is purely BORING..or the match seem to be one-sided...eg...Roger vs a qualifier in a slam r1...or a plyer is constantly making errors...believe me..i hate those matches when a player is constantly making errors...or it may also be coz u know the score of a match and are watching the highlights...

ok now..cut all the c**p..lets get bak to the topic ..chalenge sys./....i also think that Challenge system is best use of technology make the sport more transparent and more fairer....other sports have adopted it..so why not us...i mean in Tennis..

Answer 4

I think the challenge system is the best thing to happen to professional tennis. Period.

Answer 5

no.. its a good way to tell the truth.. if the ball is in or out..

Answer 6

sometimes

Answer 7

I can see your point, but I also think that it adds some contraversy sometimes when the players run out of challenges or get upset over the challenge system (like Federer did last year at Wimbledon).

The challenge system is cool because it gets the fans involved and adds some drama. And if I was a player, I would definetely want to have the challenge system in place to prevent another Serena/Capriati debacle that occured during to 04 US Open. I'm a pretty emotional player myself and I know that I would have flipped out if something like that happend to me. At least the challenge system prevents that type of thing from happening (unless the players run out of challenges, in which case they were probably abusing the system anyway).

Answer 8

No, I love the challenge system.  I've been waiting for this to occur in professional tennis for some time now, and then when the announcement was made that it was going to happen a couple years ago I got very excited.  

I got excited because it would make the job of the chair umpire a bit easier because they weren't going to have to deal with as many arguments as they had done in the past.

Answer 9

As long as it's accurate I think it's a great invention. Cricket used the hawkeye system first and now Tennis has adopted it. Now, if only stupid football (soccer) can also start using tv replays (they don't need hawkeye), it would drastically make the game so much fairer.
