Player challenges

Here’s how it works:

Each player will receive two challenges per set to review line calls.
If the player is correct with a challenge, then the player retains the same number of challenges.
If the player is incorrect with a challenge, then one of his/her challenges is lost.
During a tie-break game in any set, each player will receive one additional challenge.
Challenges may not be carried over from one set to another.

Is this only applicable to Stadium courts? If so its a bit unfair on lower ranked, lesser known or less liked players who won't get a chance to challenge calls on their courts.

What do people think?

First post updated after another withdrawal, by Stepanek. He was above Andy so that moves him up to seed no 18. We need another 2 withdrawals of those above him to get him into the top 16, which I think would mean it would be another round later before he met any of the top seeds.

I keep hearing rumours that Ancic will withdraw, but it isn't official yet. If that happens it would mean only 1 to go. . .

Since I posted just an hour ago the Ancic withdrawal has been made official.

Just one more to get Andy in the top 16.

Robxon · Lower Club Player

Tim V Greg in the 1st round.....

Winner to play Federer

How awful is that draw?

no news on Andy yet!

better news for andy!!!

Murray has qualifier, then Di Mauro or Melzer, then probably Vliegen or Starace, with Davydenko in R4 as the worst threat

Robxon · Lower Club Player

Unfortunately Andy may have to face Gonzalez in Round 3 before he gets to Davydenko.

Now where are those chickens I have to count!
