Hawk-Eye makes the wrong call?

At Dubai, in the match between Nadal and Youzhny on March 1, 2007, Hawk-Eye electronic line-judging system, apparently called the ball in, when both players thought, it was out—ON SET POINT!!!  Youzhny won the tie-break and the first set. Nadal clearly distraught, never recovered from the shock and lost the match.

So much for technology and reliability. Watch the video, here. 

Indesit to Auction Federer-Signed Refrigerator.

© Getty Images Bidding is underway now through March 12 on e-Bay for a very special auction: an Indesit Graffiti refrigerator with a huge tennis racquet drawn on the front and autographed by Roger Federer, the No. 1 player on the ATP circuit. This exceptional signature was put on the refrigerator during the Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai in November 2006, which Federer won. The proceeds from the auction, together with a donation from Indesit (ten times the ATP Race points accumulated by Federer in 2006), will go to the Roger Federer Foundation bearing the champion’s name. The foundation was founded in 2003 and it works with IMBEWU (a Swiss-South African organization) on a major project to improve social conditions for kids in New Brighton, one of the poorest districts of Port Elizabeth in South Africa. The foundation takes care of 30 kids, ensuring they get regular schooling and at least two meals a day.
