      <title>Haddad Maia into US Open last 16 after video review row</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330377349/haddad-maia-into-us-open-last-16-after-video-review-row</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Beatriz Haddad Maia booked her place in the US Open fourth round on Saturday after winning a controversial video review which derailed her opponent Anna Kalinskaya of Russia.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kalinskaya was 2-0 ahead in the opening set of the third round clash on Louis Armstrong Stadium when she called for a video review, claiming that her Brazilian opponent had won a point off a double bounce.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chair umpire Miriam Bley consulted her tablet screen and decided that the shot was legitimate and the point was allowed to stand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kalinskaya never recovered her composure and won only two of the next 14 games as the Brazilian left-hander set-up a last-16 clash with former world number one Caroline Wozniacki.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The US Open introduced video replays last year and expanded it for 2024 to cover eight courts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When it was first used in 2023, it failed to function in the men’s match between Andy Murray and Corentin Moutet after the French player requested a review.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Amongst the decisions that can be challenged are double bounces and hindrances.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There have been widespread calls for the review system to be used at all tournaments after a series of controversies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the recent Cincinnati Masters, Britain’s Jack Draper scored a victory over Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime on a dubious linecall without technology review.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The chair umpire was unable to make a clear call on a ball that looked to have hit the court on the Briton’s side of the net just as Draper’s racquet met the ball at the same instant, landing a winner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While both men were agreeable to a replay, officials could not make a ruling without the benefit of a video review capacity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After several minutes of discussion at the chair, the shot by Draper, on match point, was allowed to stand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US Open champion Coco Gauff also demanded the system be used at the French Open after a clash with the umpire over a disputed line call in her semi-final with Iga Swiatek.&lt;/p&gt;
