Did RG do away with the serve speedometer?

It doesn't appear to be on any of the courts.

All about this now...

I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday. They need to incorporate Hawkeye as well.

 

[sureshs]

I think it is only used in the qualies

They should start with installing lights.

Nadal will win regardless

RG is always behind the times.

I'd say they would play in a cave if they could but that would imply actually having a roof.

I think they’ve been without it for a while now. I would personally find having the speedometer to be a distraction if I was a player, so I think it makes sense. It’s nice for the TV audience to see but on the court it is kind of pointless.

When real men like Nadal play, speed clocks are meaningless. Their level is so high that others cannot relate to it.

Lol really? Didn't notice, but that's whack

RG is always behind the times.

They used to have it and now they don't have it anymore, so wouldn't it mean they are ahead of the times?

It's just a needless distraction for the players

Maybe for them, but #IWannaSee

Roland Garros needs to get a roof...and Wimbledon needs to get rid of the stupid curfews and allow play on the middle Sunday.

It's interesting for the fans. I'd like to see speeds for groundstrokes as well.

They had to sell them to help fund the lights
