USTA Acknowledges Replay Error in US Open Match
News summary

The U.S. Tennis Association (USTA) admitted to a wrong call made during a third-round U.S. Open match between Anna Kalinskaya and Beatriz Haddad Maia, as the chair umpire did not receive all relevant replay angles from the video review official. The disputed point occurred when Kalinskaya hit a drop shot, and Haddad Maia returned it just as it was landing, leading to a controversial ruling favoring Haddad Maia. Despite Kalinskaya challenging the call using the newly implemented video review system, the chair umpire, Miriam Bley, only viewed limited footage and thus upheld the initial decision. USTA spokesman Brendan McIntyre confirmed that an additional angle shown on broadcast revealed the ball had bounced off Haddad Maia's racket before crossing the net, which should have resulted in a point for Kalinskaya. In response to the incident, the tournament referee's office has emphasized the importance of providing all applicable replay angles to officials during matches. This incident has raised questions about the video review process and umpire decision-making in high-stakes matches.
