Open-'Overrule' umpire Alves to sit out rest of U.S. Open

NEW YORK, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Mariana Alves, the umpire at the centre of the con
troversial U.S. Open quarter-final between Jennifer Capriati and Serena William
s on Tuesday, will not officiate at any more matches in this year's event.
At deuce in the opening game of the third set, Portuguese Alves overruled a bac
khand from Williams, calling it out after it had clearly landed inside the line
and been deemed good by the line judge.
"Regrettably, the replay on television showed that an incorrect overrule was ma
de," tournament referee Brian Earley said in a statement.
"A mistake was made and I have discussed the call with Ms Alves. Ms Alves is no
t scheduled to officiate another match during the 2004 U.S. Open."
Though Alves's overrule was inaudible on television, and Williams said she thou
ght the call was a score mistake, replays proved the ball was clearly in.
Capriati went on to win the match 2-6 6-4 6-4, leaving fellow American Williams
claiming she had been "robbed".
At Wimbledon earlier this year, British umpire Ted Watts was stood down after a
bizarre incident in which he incorrectly gave Karolina Sprem a point she shoul
d not have been awarded, against Venus Williams, Serena's sister.
