Overview
- Tournament officials suspended all qualifying play on Wednesday after extreme heat caused the electronic line‑calling system to malfunction and require a full recalibration.
- Broadcasters on site reported a no‑play window was announced with organisers setting an initial target to resume roughly an hour after the stoppage while technicians worked on the system.
- Several matches were stopped mid‑action, including Dan Evans who was reported one set down to Tristan Schoolkate when play was halted, leaving outcomes unresolved until play restarts.
- The electronic line‑calling system uses automated cameras and software to judge whether balls land in or out, and overheating appears to have affected its sensors and accuracy, forcing a manual intervention.
- The delay could compress the remaining qualifying timetable and affect the release of the full draw on Friday and player recovery ahead of the main event starting Monday, June 29.
