The Wimbledon warmup tournament at Queen's Club will use Hawk-Eye technology this year to resolve any line call disputes.The grass-court championships will be the first ATP tournament in Britain to use the video technology, organisers said."I think it's great for the fans," said Andy Roddick, who will again compete in 2007 with Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray."It adds another dimension to watching it on TV, and it takes some heat off the umpires a little bit."Giant TVs will be installed at each end of centre court to show replays.
The move has also increased capacity by 400 seats, bringing the total to 6,858.Defending champion Lleyton Hewitt, who won in Las Vegas on Sunday, is also expected to return to The Queen's Club.The tournament will run from June 11-27 - two weeks before Wimbledon.
