## Resource

A tense moment at the French Open sparked debate over line-calling tech after a disputed shot in Ruud vs. Fonseca’s tiebreaker—where a spectator’s shout and a human umpire’s call went against replays. Despite pressure and the ATP/WTA’s adoption of electronic systems, tournament director Amelie Mauresmo stands firm: Roland Garros won’t rush to tech, citing clay’s unpredictability and past tech glitches. She trusts human judges, notes players haven’t pushed hard for change, and admits the call was “marginal”—but with an open door for future innovation.
