I feel like I"m taking crazy pills. What part of a challenge system with hawkeye (or equivalent) allows for cheating? Why do you keep saying this?

Also, lets say even at Wimbledon where there is definitely hawkeye. I call a ball out on purpose that I barely got to, so the opponent challenges and wins. Oh well, replay the point.

I don't understand why you haven't read the goddamn words I've been typing.
Please do not respond until you read the infromation contained in this link. Thank you in advance.

Did you read them? Now how much is that machine going to cost in five years? If you guessed, "very very little", then you are correct and you have clearly read the information, and I do thank you for that.
Moreover, the above machine has all kinds of bells and whistles. A hawkeye-equivalent machine could be made tomorrow for two thousand dollars a pop, easy. And that's tomorrow. Think aobut in a few years. This is not expensive stuff. And in the end it would save the Bangladesh tournament director money by getting a dozen chair umpires off his payroll.

Okay, a reasonable criticism. Thank you for that.

You just stopped making sense. The challenger/futures tournament director can pay for umpires and linesman but not a machine. Great position. frick machines, and technology. Yeah man, let's connect phone calls by hiring a thousand women and asking them to flip switches all day. That'll be efficient, and always the better solution than something automatic system.
Super argument. I'm glad you've steadfastly adopted it to avoid reading the link. An intellectual heavyweight you truly aare, and a rebel but with no discernable cause.
But, hey, he's been to a futures tournament. Give him a cookie.

9-9 suspended for darkness. Grrrr. I sort of having money on Tsonga. I don't like that Querrey is serving when the scoreline is tied. I think that gives him the mental advantage.

I'm not surprised to see Gulby bounced. I think he could be a decent grass court player, but from his first match it was pretty clear he didn't know how to move on it, and that's the key.
Murray is nicely rounding into form.
I'm a Dolgopolov fan, so I was happy to see him win. Plus, I had some money on him.
I had a hunch Baghdatis would lose, but I didn'bet against him because he's been talking about making a serious comeback (i.e. trying to make a run back into the top ten), and I guess I just sort halfway believed him. He's a great shotmaker, but I don't care what he says, he's never been in as good a shape as he could have been in. At least since his early early days. I like Bags, though. rooting for hi.
I hate Fabio Fognini with a passion.
Don't say nobody told you Grigor could make a deep run this year when he does. Because I told you.
I like Bauitista. He's solid and steady on all surfaces.

Marin Cilic appears to be in good form except he drops a bad set each match. In the other threee sets, he rolls.
If you would have asked me to list the Tomic/Berdych scoreline, I would have gotten it right within 2-3 games. Talk about a guy with a ton of game and essentially zero dedication to fitness. Ladies and Gentlemen: Bernard Tomic
I'm not shocked that Djoker dropped a set but I'm also not worried. Stepanek is sneaky like that.
I'm extremly pissed that fricking Jimmy Wang beat Youzhny. I may have had money on YOuzhny, which woudl make sense because Jimmy wang isn't particularly good at the game of tennis. And yet....
Gilles Simon has been in good form.
Tsonga/Querrey tied at 9-9 in the fifth and will resume tomorrow. I tend to learn Querrey if only because I like the mental edge of him serving when the scores is tied. Otherwise it's a coin flip, and I'm actually rooting for Tsonga (guess why?).

I think it's plenty cool you played Challengers. You've obviously got some serious game.
Your argument has less game. Your argument is more like a low 3.5.
