This year’s U.S. Open tournament will have a video review option to check if a ball is double bounced during a game. It is one of the hardest calls for the umpires as it is a matter of inches and unlike line calls where the automatic system already works, with double bounces it is purely left on the decision of the referees.<\/p>\n
U.S. Open will start at August 28th and this video review will make its debut in New York.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were certain situations, of course, where you would see a video post-match and wish you had made a different decision,\u201d Garner told The Associated Press, \u201cor wish you had assistance in making that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
Video review \u2014 which is separate from the electronic line-calling used for ruling balls in or out at all matches \u2014 will be set up for five of the Open\u2019s 17 competition courts: Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, Grandstand, Court 5 and Court 17.<\/p>\n
Last year at U.S. Open the umpire didn’t see if a ball bounced twice during the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud and the Norwegian had to confirm himself that he didn’t get to the ball in time. Here is a video from that moment:
