U.S. Open, WTA, ATP to use replay
 McEnroe pushed strongly for the new changes | The U.S. Open will be the first Grand Slam tennis event to use instant replay to review disputed calls. The WTA and ATP Tours will also begin regularly using instant replay, starting with the Nasdaq-100 Open in Key Biscayne, Fla., on March 22. Players will have two opportunities in each set to have calls reviewed. A computerized model of the play will be shown on a review official's screen, as well as the stadium screen and on television. If a call is overturned, the player will keep their challenge opportunity. Otherwise, they'll lose one. |
