Norrie wants video replays after Roland Garros double bounce strife

Cameron Norrie thinks video replays should be used to help umpires make the right call on dubious points after he got away with a double bounce in Wednesday’s second round victory over Lucas Pouille at the French Open.

France’s Pouille thought he had won a point in the third set after a drop shot, but umpire Eva Asderaki failed to see the ball bounce twice, as Norrie won the point amid boos from the home crowd.

“I think that would be great… We have the technology to do it. I don’t know why we’re not doing it in all aspects,” Norrie told reporters after he beat Pouille 6-1 6-3 6-3. Sometimes tournaments where they have Hawkeye (technology) for the TV and then for the match they don’t use it… I think we should be using it.

“We all make mistakes, the umpires make mistakes. I think he’s right. It was just one of those calls, a tough call in the moment. From the replay, for me, it looks like she got it wrong.”
