sports dictionary Tennis - THE RIGHT BALL

Tennis THE RIGHT BALL the referees verdict that the ball hit the court. If the game is played without a referee, then this decision is made in concert by both athletes. The fact is that tennis is a very dynamic and fast game. The speed of the ball can reach 200 km/h or more. That is why there are often controversial situations regarding the definition of an out. The referee on the line may make a mistake (human factor). In addition, tennis players themselves often challenge the verdict of the line referee. In such disputable situations, the final decision is made by the referee on the tower. Also, in some tournaments, the "eagle eye" system works, which calculates the point where the ball hits with almost no errors. If the head referee (or "eagle eye") determines a hit on the court, then the "correct ball" is declared.
