LONDON (AP) - Beginning next week, all professional tennis tournaments using an electronic replay system will offer players the same amount of challenges per match.
The International Tennis Federation announced today, in a joint statement with the ATP, WTA Tour and Grand Slam committee, that each player will get a maximum of three unsuccessful challenges per set, plus one wrong challenge in a tiebreaker.
Players can still make an unlimited number of correct challenges.
Previously, the men’s and women’s pro tours offered only two unsuccessful challenges per set plus one in the tiebreaker. The ITF’s team competitions, including the Davis Cup and the Fed Cup, offered unlimited challenges.
The unified system will start next week at the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne, Florida.
