Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova won against Sonay Kartal 7-6 (3), 6-4 to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the second time in nine years. During the match, a malfunction in the Hawk-Eye line-calling technology occurred on a crucial point, leading to a controversial do-over. Chair umpire Nico Helwerth stated that the process followed was standard due to operator error. Pavlyuchenkova expressed pride in her performance, especially competing against younger players, despite her longstanding doubts about playing on grass surfaces.
"I always thought I was not good enough on grass, so this is incredible for me. Especially with me getting older, I am so impressed and proud for competing with the younger girls."
"Due to operator error, the system was deactivated on the point in question. The chair umpire followed the established process."
