Olympic Tennis
There were more than 17,000 spectators when Nadal played Hewitt in tennis at the Olympics. As the game progressed, Hewitt's name was displayed during his serve accompanied by the words "New Balls". Perhaps he should have stayed with the original balls as Nadal had been struggling a bit before the change; but after the change, Nadal swept the game. It can lead to a bit discomfort when female players such as Venus and Serena Williams get new balls; but so far, they have still been able to win games after the startling change. Power to new balls!
