Hawk-Eye Innovations has produced remarkable technology for assisting with line calls in tennis, and in November at the Next Gen ATP Finals, the company will debut yet another version of its product that will make line calls almost completely automated.
The Association of Tennis Professionals announced Monday that the upcoming Next Gen ATP Finals, a men’s youth professional tennis tournament to be held this year in Milan, Italy, will feature Hawk-Eye Live on all line calls. The new service will make real-time, instantaneous “out” calls, rendering obsolete any game officials on the court save for the chair umpire, ATP said.
