At Wimbledon, the electronic line-calling system was mistakenly turned off, leading to missed calls during a match involving Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. This error resulted in a point potentially being 'stolen' from her during a crucial game. The All England Club initially identified the deactivation as an operator error. Further investigation revealed it was due to a server-side issue for one game, affecting three calls. Following the incident, a review of processes was initiated to prevent future errors while maintaining confidence in their ball-tracking technology.
