All U.S. Open Courts To Feature Electronic Line-Calling In '18

All 17 courts that will be used during the U.S. Open later this summer "will have electronic line-calling and video review available," marking the first time that every match in the tournament "will have the technology." Only seven courts "had the capability" during last year's event. The "top four courts ... will have an instant-replay team within the arena this year" (AP, 6/29). The move "likely will be embraced by players, most of whom have come to rely on it over the years, particularly amid questionable calls on critical points" (WASHINGTONPOST.com, 6/29).
