"like that they don't find it unreasonable?", Alex Aala asked after the loss of Iga Swiatek in Madrid expanded in late April. Eala, 19 -year -old Philippine stars are "waving", not complaining about the failure of the three sets. She was in disobedient by the situation of Swiatek serve on the ball, but the electronic cord arbitration system (ELC) determined the ball in the yard. Then one day, Arthur Fils experienced the same thing in the match against Francisco Comesana. Fils, France's number one player, pointed out a serve of the opponent to go out "size two, three centimeters", but the technology offers the opposite image. With Fils, he felt like being robbed of the score. The situation now is no different from telling the players who are not believed in their eyes. It is not too much to say that players are gradually losing confidence in ELC technology, leading to rare actions on the field. A week earlier in Stuttgart, the world's number one female player Aryna Sabalenka did the same thing, except that Sabalenka said that the ball in the yard, instead of going out as the referee's decision. At the event in Germany, ELC has not been implemented. The common point of Zverev and Sabalenka is that both have to recognize warnings because of sports behavior.

Roland Garros alone keeps the referee, continue to see the ball printed on the ground to determine the outside situation or not. While on the ground, the ball leaves are sometimes controversial because of the insufficient image with the ELC system. However, the reality shows that the error in the ground is much larger. The reason is due to the change in the properties of the yard, this is completely different from the hard yard and grass.

With the ground yard, the surface is strongly affected by the weather and the natural adhesion between the structures, leading to the moisture, dryness and the amount of red brick powder. In other words, the same pitch but the situation is different in specific positions in the match. The above factors have a great impact on the ball orbit, making it difficult to assert the outside or not with the naked eye. ATP made a video explaining why this irony happened. It is this nature of the clay yard that makes the glossy image compressed on the yard with the naked eye can make a different sign of the shape and size that the technology redraws.
