How Covid Effected Tennis
The Covid pandemic has forced all sorts of changes to the way Grand Slam tennis has been played throughout 2021, and perhaps beyond.

"I don't mind Hawk-Eye at all. "It saves me the trouble of attempting to challenge or thinking about did they call it correctly or not? It actually gets me really focused."

Hawk-Eye uses six or more computer-linked televisions, and 18 cameras around the court or wherever you are playing. The computer tracks the tennis ball on each different camera at different angles.
