Instant Replay Comes to U.S. Open Tennis

We've seen instant replay in pro football for several years -- with mixed reviews. Now comes news that the U.S. Open tennis tournament will use instant replay to review foul calls.

Like any sport, tennis has its share of close calls. But most officials overall do a pretty good job of calling the plays accurately. I doubt that instant replay will improve the game. If anything, it can slow down the game to the point that it breaks a player's momentum on the court.

I suspect players want instant replay because so many matches have been decided by questionable calls. They just want the officials to get the call right.
