There was more controversy around the electronic line call system at Wimbledon during Tuesday’s quarter-final action as a point in Taylor Fritz’s match with Karen Khachanov had to be replayed because of a “malfunction” with the technology.<\/b><\/p>\n
Wimbledon organisers apologised on Saturday after human error led to the system on Centre Court being turned off by mistake<\/a> and missed three calls during Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova’s match with Britain’s Sonay Kartal.<\/p>\n This time, ‘fault’ was erroneously called during play in the first match of the fourth set, with Fritz leading 15-0 after taking the first two sets 6-3 6-4, but losing the third 1-6.<\/p>\n Swedish umpire Louise Azemar-Engzell called ‘stop’ and, after checking what the issue was over the phone, announced to the crowd inside Court One: “Ladies and gentleman we will replay the last point because of a malfunction. The system is now working.”<\/p>\n A statement from the All England Club said: “The player’s service motion began while the BBG was still crossing the net and therefore the system didn’t recognise the start of the point. <\/p>\n “As such the Chair Umpire instructed the point be replayed.”<\/p>\n BBG refers to Ball Boys and Girls, external<\/a> and the incident happened shortly after one had collected a ball from the middle of the court after Fritz’s first served had landed out.<\/p>\n
