Hawk eye gets thumbs up from Henin and Jankovic

Dubai: Two of the top 10 players on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour came out openly in favour of the Hawk Eye line calling system being implemented at this week's Dubai Duty Free Women's Open.

"I think the Hawk Eye technology is great for tennis as the game becomes more fair between two players," noted world number 10 Jelena Jankovic. "I hope they retain this as use of the latest technology can only be good for the sport," Jankovic added.

Also throwing her weight behind Hawk Eye is former world number one and top seed Justine Henin. "I think the use of such technology makes the game more exciting. This also helps build up relationships between players and the umpires. I think it is better for everyone," Henin stated.

"There is a lot of money involved in the sport today and therefore it would be nice to see all tournaments having such technology," Henin said.
