Wimbledon faced another malfunction with its electronic line-calling system during a quarter-final match between Taylor Fritz and Karen Khachanov. The incident occurred when Fritz's second serve was incorrectly called a fault because the automated system did not register the serve due to a ballboy still on the court. This prompted the chair umpire to order that the point be replayed. Tournament organizers faced backlash as this incident followed a previous significant error, which escalated criticism of the automated system replaced from human line judges.
