Overview
- Wimbledon abandoned human line judges after 147 years in favour of a 12-camera electronic line calling system across all courts
- In her round-of-16 match against Sonay Kartal, Anastasia Pawljutschenkowa lost a point at 4-4 Advantage when Hawk-Eye failed to call a ball that had landed clearly out
- Pawljutschenkowa accused umpire Nico Helwerth of ‘stealing’ her game following the erroneous call
- Kartal won the replayed point, broke serve to take the game, altering the match momentum
- Tournament organisers have confirmed no plans to reintroduce human judges, choosing to continue with the fully automated system
