PARIS : Cameron Norrie said video replays should be used to help umpires make the right call on dubious points after he got away with a double bounce in Wednesday's second round victory over Lucas Pouille at the French Open.
Pouille said Norrie was under no obligation to concede the point as players are sometimes unsure if the ball bounces twice. But he added that the umpire should have had the option to check the replay, a view shared by Norrie. "Sometimes tournaments where they have Hawkeye for the TV and then for the match they don't use it... I think we should be using it.
Pouille also said a lack of accountability for umpires who make mistakes was frustrating, adding that players should not be fined for minor offences either.
