The Credit One Charleston Open in Charleston, S.C. is introducing a groundbreaking technology called Hologic Electric Line Calling Live, which eliminates the need for line judges by providing accurate “out” calls during matches. This marks the first time the technology is being used on green clay at the tournament.
Daria Kasatkina, the No. 5 seed, supports the new system, noting that it reduces drama for players and allows them to focus more on the game. On the other hand, Amanda Anisimova, the No. 7 seed, has a more cautious perspective, mentioning that the ability to see the mark on Clay helps players make their own judgments.
Despite mixed reactions, tournament officials are confident that the new technology will enhance accuracy and consistency in line scoring. In addition to the line technology, the open is also using a challenge-based video review system on two of the courts this week.
