Ex-pros question french open over line calling choice

Former players Anne Keothavong and Tim Henman have called for the French Open to introduce electronic line calling at Roland Garros.

During TNT Sports UK coverage of the ongoing tournament, Keothavong noted her enjoyment of traditional elements at times. Henman clarified the point applied only on clay and added that technology should be used where available, calling its results a huge success on other surfaces. He described himself as a traditionalist yet maintained that electronic line calling belongs in the game now.
