Caroline Wozniacki channelled her inner John McEnroe (minus the profanity) after getting jacked around by the chair umpire, who didn't even want to allow her the right to appeal to the umpiring supervisor. The replay shows that she was right; the ball was indeed out.
Fireworks at about 1:49....

If they were using replay they would have gotten the call right and saved time.

Yep, every other major (including the snobs/traditionalists at Wimbledon) use it now, no reason for the Frogs not to.

Replay certainly would have helped. But Wozniaki was complaining more about the lack of lasers on the baseline. I couldn't tell from the video whether or not that problem was because the Frogs didn't have it at all or if they had it on the most important courts only. That umpire, though, gave me the feeling that even if replay had existed, he would have refused to use it. I know the players are supposed to have a limited number of reviews (when replay is available), but if the ump won't go to it, the player is screwed.

Clearly. The hilight of this is the 3 seconds starting at the 0:23 mark.

What a waste of 2 minutes.
