The U.S. Open has replaced human line judges with optical technology to determine whether balls are in or out — and most people seem to be supporting the shift: 'It's pretty tough to argue with a computer.'
Automated line calling, he says,"takes away that anxiety of, 'I really hope the line judge or chair umpire doesn't mess this one up.'""No sensors. No lasers," says the company's Figueiredo."It's all through optical tracking. ... The entire system is calibrated to the court. And the cameras essentially identify the X, Y, Z position at any given point.
came in 2020, at the early peak of the COVID pandemic. To minimize the risk of infection spread, the tournament eliminated nearly all line judges, instead using Hawk-Eye Live on all but the two main courts. Tournament officials thought the system worked so well that now they use it exclusively. There are a variety of officials' voices in the database, male and female, calling plays with a range of dynamics and urgency.
In other words, the TV networks and corporate sponsors are happier because the screen has less clutter – though Cary balks at that word:"I mean," he says,"clutter's not necessarily a nice word to call human beings.""I'm usually not a tennis traditionalist," he says,"but there's something about having those line judges dressed up in the back of the court making the calls. There's definitely something missing there.
