An electronic line-calling system error affected Sonay Kartal's match on Centre Court, leading to controversy when Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova accused Wimbledon of home bias. The system was turned off accidentally, causing confusion during a critical point of the match, which had to be replayed. As a result, Kartal won the point, shifting momentum in her favor, despite Pavlyuchenkova's protests. Meanwhile, Cameron Norrie advanced to the quarter-finals after a dramatic five-set match against Nicolas Jarry, becoming the last British player in the tournament as several hopefuls exited early.
Wimbledon organisers have apologised after the electronic line-calling system was turned off in error at a crucial moment in Sonay Kartal's match on Centre Court.
Pavlyuchenkova accused the All England Club of home bias and said a game had been stolen from her when the AI-enhanced technology missed a call.
The umpire, Nico Helwerth, said the technology was unable to track the last point, which had to be replayed. 'I don't know if it's in or it's out. How do I know? You cannot prove it.'
Cameron Norrie became the last Briton standing after battling through to the Wimbledon quarter-finals in a five-set epic, defeating his Chilean opponent Nicolas Jarry.
