The U.S. Tennis Association admitted that an incorrect call was made during a third-round U.S. Open match between two players due to a missed replay review. The incident occurred during a match between two seeded players, with the chair umpire not being shown a crucial replay angle that could have impacted the decision.

After the review was completed, an additional angle was discovered on the broadcast that the chair umpire had not seen before making the call. This led to the acknowledgment that the wrong call had been made due to the lack of access to all relevant footage.
