Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova won her fourth round match on Sunday. She defeated British player Sonai Kartle 7-6 (7/3), 6-4 in a match that lasted more than two hours on the Central Court. The game was full of controversy.
But there was a technical problem. For the first time in Wimbledon's 150-year history, the referee has been replaced by an 'automated system'. When the first set was going very competitively, the computer did not work and the rhythm of the match changed, which could have been decisive.
At 4-4, Pavlyuchenkova had two break points before taking it to game point. Kartel's backhand hit was clearly outside the baseline, but there was no call from the umpire. Chair umpire Nico Hellwerth stopped the game by saying 'stop stop'. Chair umpire Halworth told the audience, 'We're seeing if the system is being tested, why is there no audio call.' After the
telephone conversation, he said again, 'Unfortunately, the last point could not be tracked, so the same point will be played again.' In response, Pavlyuchenkova pointed to the umpire and said, 'They are taking the game away from me.'
