US EditionWimbledon apologizes after missed line calls caused by faulty electronic system
- Wimbledon officials apologized to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Sonay Kartal after the electronic line-calling system was mistakenly deactivated for one game on Centre Court.
- The error occurred due to human operator deactivation on the server's side, causing three crucial calls to be missed despite the system normally working optimally.
- During the affected game, no electronic call flagged Kartal's clearly long backhand, leading umpire Nico Helwerth to stop play and order the disputed point replayed.
- Pavlyuchenkova expressed anger, accusing an official of bias and saying, "They stole the game from me, they stole it," while Wimbledon maintained full confidence in the ball-tracking technology despite player doubts.
- Wimbledon reviewed and adjusted its procedures after the incident, and Pavlyuchenkova secured a quarter-final place where she will face Amanda Anisimova on Tuesday.
