Vimbledon suffered another fault of the electronic line to which the movement of a ball boy during the quarter Taylor Fritz on Tuesday over Karen Kacanov.
The Swedish Judge Louise Azemar-Engzell called “standing” in the introductory game of fourth set in court, when “Error” was mislined after Fritz Forhand landed well into the basic line.
The wrong “mistake”, not “out”, and positioning the ball suggested that the technology continues to follow Fritz service as opposed to the rally.
The tournament organizers checked that theory, explaining that the system failed to reset because the ball from the first service of Fritz was still taken when he started to encourage his second.
Vimbledon said that they made changes in their falcon and eyes after a significant failure during Sonai Cartal against Anastasia Pavliuchenk’s during the fourth round
No player showed a lot of reactions such as the game officer Azemar-Engzell ordered the point to be reproduction.
Fritz stated 2-1 at that phase on the tarts before he finished victory from 6-3 6-4 1-6 7-6 (4) at two hours and 36 minutes.
“It started moving in the player’s service while the BBG (ball or girl) continued to cross the net and therefore did not recognize the beginning of the point”, read a statement from the entire English club.
“As such a chair, the judge sent the point to be reproduction.”
Tournament organizers said that they were sure to avoid further issues with technology after a major mistake in the fourth round of Sonai Cartyl in the female draw in the Women’s Draw.
On that occasion, the new system failed to call ‘outside’ when the fired cards bounced behind the base line.
If the call was correct, Pavliuchenkova would take 5-4 lead in the first set. Instead, Judge Nico Helverth ruled the point should be reproduced, and the cards lasts to win the game.
However, the main scandal was avoided as Russian, who accused the home bias officer, fought back to progress.
After the investigation, the organizers recognized that the technology was excluded by mistake in the Court section. The entire tennis club of England later confirmed that they gave changes in the system, removing the ability of the hawk operator to manually deactivate the ball tracking.
The leading British Duo Jack Draper and Emma Sladukan complained about the accuracy of the system, which is widely used on tour, but only introduced only in SV19.
The latest incident is another embarrassment for the primacy in the middle of the controversy due to the removal of line judges.
