French Open retains its human touch

Roland Garros continues to eschew touchline technology, and players think that's a bad call

For Novak Djokovic, this is a relatively easy call: He, like many players, thinks the French Open is making a mistake by eschewing the electronic line-calling used at most big tennis tournaments, instead choosing to remain "old school" by letting line judges decide whether serves, or other shots, land in or out.

Plenty of sports, from soccer and baseball to the NFL, are replacing, or at least helping, officials with some form of high-tech assistance, like replays or sensors.

Tennis, too, is following that trend — except at Roland Garros, where the French Open is currently underway and runs until June 8.
