BERDYCH HAS A GO AT HAWK-EYE


Controversy surfaced at the Australian open here on Sunday when tennis player Tomas berdych questioned the accuracy of the hawk-eye electronic line-calling system at a vital stage of his quarter-final match against defending champion roger ferderer.The system which stimulates ball flight to determine close calls was unable to offer an opinion on a line call,leading to an angry Berdych questioning the chair umpire over the apparent failure of the system to show a simulation of a ball called out early in the fourth set,reports The Australian.He was told that officials had ruled the original call of"out would be upheld."i don't care about officials.i just want to see my ball.he told the umpire the Hawk-eye simulator is believed to have failed to make the call due to the heavy shadow over the line in question.
