In 2006, the Hopman Cup was the first tournament to introduce HawkEye to allow players to challenge line calls, and the US Open followed suit the same year. The following year, the Australian Open implemented the system and then the Wimbledon Championships joined the bandwagon.
French Open unwilling to implement HawkEye On the contrary, the French Open has kept up with its tradition of umpires reviewing the line calls, by checking the mark left by the ball on the court. Since the ball leaves a clear mark, the officials don’t feel the need to implement the HawkEye system. Despite the HawkEye having an error margin of 3.6 millimetres, it is still more accurate than a human eye.Although, the French Open staff clears the court several times during the matches to avoid overlapping of the marks on the court. In many instances, umpires have spotted the wrong mark or players finding it hard to identify the mark amidst an entire group of them. Often umpires stick to the original call if they fail to locate the correct ball mark, leaving the players visibly agitated.
Despite many requests from players, the French Open hasn’t modernized the tournament by refraining to implement the Hawkeye system. Hence, the on-court arguments between the players and chair umpires about the position of the ball mark will remain a permanent feature.Rafael Nadal returns to Roland Garros with a chance to equal Roger Federer’s record of 20 Grand Slam titles. Nadal is a 12-time champion at the clay-court major and boasts a 93-2 tournament record, starting with his title run on his 2005 debut as a teenager.
Novak Djokovic and Dominic Thiem will lead the challengers, and enter Paris riding winning streaks. World No. 1 Djokovic, who won Roland Garros in 2016 with victory over Andy Murray in the final, claimed a record-breaking 36th ATP Masters 1000 crown on Monday at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia (d. Schwartzman). The Serbian took his Grand Slam title haul to 17 with his triumph earlier this year at the Australian Open.
Thiem will look to go one better at Roland Garros, after finishing runner-up to Nadal the past two years. The Austrian celebrated his first Grand Slam title earlier this month when he came from two sets down to defeat Alexander Zverev in the US Open final.
The 2020 Roland Garros field is also set to feature Top 10 players Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Zverev, Matteo Berrettini, Gael Monfils and Denis Shapovalov.
Here’s all you need to know about Roland Garros: when is the draw, what is the schedule, where to watch, who has won and more. The debate around equal prize money has always been a contentious one in the tennis world.

While the four grand slams have moved to award equal prize money in recent years, the majority of tennis tournaments around the world still give more to male players than females.It was revealed on Monday that Djokovic was awarded €205,200 for winning the Italian Open, while Halep got €205,190 – a measly €10 difference.
Fans were left gobsmacked that tournament officials got so close to pay parity, yet fell so embarrassingly short.American tennis writer Ben Rothenberg described it as “utterly hilarious”.
“Rome, long an unequal prize money event, came SO CLOSE to giving equal prize money to both the finalists and champions today, but then decided to reduce the women’s prize money by *10 EUROS* to keep the men on top, however slightly,” he wrote.“The Rome women’s champ made 99.995 cents on the dollar of the men’s champ.
“Yes, the overall pay gap is a bigger deal, but the pettiness of the inequality on the top line is far more symbolic. That’s not ‘market forces’ etc at all, that’s just fragile masculinity and misogyny.”Simona Halep is not getting worried about her tag as French Open favourite following her Italian Open win and the withdrawal of reigning Roland Garros champion Ashleigh Barty.
“If people think I’m a favourite, I’m not thinking about that because every match it’s a battle and everyone wants to get it so badly,” she told WTA Insider.The HawkEye is a camera system that visually tracks the trajectory of the ball and displays the position of the ball on the court. The technology helps in solving disputes between the chair umpires and the players to ensure fair play.
