Wimbledon apologizes after missed line calls caused by faulty electronic system

  • Wimbledon officials apologized on Sunday after a human error deactivated the electronic line-calling system for one game on Centre Court.
  • This error caused three missed calls, two made by the chair umpire unaware the system was inactive, leading to confusion in a crucial match involving Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Sonay Kartal.
  • The match was paused by the chair umpire, who checked with the review official before deciding that the point should be replayed; however, Pavlyuchenkova accused the officials of unfairness, insisting that the outcome of the game had been wrongly taken from her.
  • Wimbledon spokespeople and chair Debbie Jevans expressed full confidence in the ball-tracking technology's accuracy despite player distrust, stating that processes were reviewed and changes made after the human error.
  • The incident intensified ongoing controversy over replacing line judges with automated systems, with British players Raducanu and Draper voicing dissatisfaction during the tournament this week.
