Shotspot (or whatever equivalent system they use in the Olympics) is able to track the ball's entire flight from one player's racquet to the other with accuracy within millimeters. So on that point where the umpire didn't see the ball touch Gonzalez's racquet yet TV replays clearly show that it does, I would think a quick replay through Shotspot could confirm the ball's change in direction. Even a slight change in direction would interrupt the ball's smooth flight and be obvious as an angle in the flight path.Even if it turns out that you can only use it to challenge line calls, I think Blake should have done it to show the crowd that he was in the right on that dispute and perhaps get them on his side for the rest of the match.
