| Sharapova biggest victim of new technology |
 Key Biscayne (Florida), Apr 05: Faring worst on challenges was Maria Sharapova, who lost to Kuznetsova in the women's final. All 11 of her challenges were rejected."Pretty sad," Sharapova said. "I'll keep trying." Her next chance will likely be at the summer hardcourt tournaments in the US, before replay makes its grand slam debut on the two largest courts at the US Open. If the technology can be perfected for grass, even Wimbledon might adopt a video review system, though not this year. The eight-camera replay system changed the dynamics of matches in several ways. While there were fears it would slow the game, replay instead had the reverse effect, eliminating extended disputes. Shouts of "challenge!" from the stands became common whenever there was a close call. |
Anyway, she'll be the new Land Rover endorser in a deal worth $2million a year.
