London – a ball that obviously landed in a match in the Center Court for a long time because the electronic system that replaced line judges in Wimbledon this year was closed.
And, since the replay review method was also abolished, the chair umpire called for a do-over at 4-al-Point in the first set of the chair-Anastasia Pavlechhenkova for disappointment, if the player had originally created, could win the game.
Pavlechhenkova broke there for Britain’s Sonoy Cartal, but in the end he won the match-6-6 (3), 6-4 and was able to reach the quarter-finals at the All England Club for the first time after 20 2016.
After the game is over, the 2021 French Open Runner-Up Pavliechhenkova Chair Umpire Nico Helworth told Nico Helworth, “You have removed the game from me from me.”
Pavlichhenkova, who is Russian, said at the moment that the decision -making has gone to the cartal because he is a local player.
At his press conference, Pavlwshenkova said that Helworth followed the match and told him that he thought that the cartal shot landed.
“I think he felt bad, something,” said Pavolchhenkova. “He probably felt that he should have taken initiative and called it.”
He also said Helworth “was probably afraid to make such a big decision.”
Pavolchhenkova was serving and had a game point when the cartal hit a backhand that exceeds the opposite baseline, showing TV replays. However, for the first time in the Wimbledon, the technology was being used in place of human officers when the first time the recorded voices were recorded to determine when a ball landed.
At least Pavlichhenkova could make a joke after the entire episode. When he loses the match, Pavlechhenkova laughed and said: “I would just say that I hate Wimbledon and never come back.”
He further crack that the chair umpires are “very good in breaking the fine and code” and never miss them, but they will be beneficial if they do better to target the wrong calls.
Cartal said he couldn’t see where his shot went.
“This situation is a rudeness. I don’t think it’s really ever happened – if it is tough it is it. “I think the system was just a bit defective, and the most beautiful way was what he did: re -play the point.”
Helworth delayed to play while making a phone call from his stand. Finally, the play resumes, missing a forehand in the Pavolchhenkova reply, then the game lost a few points later.
The explanation given by a spokesperson of the All England Club: “Due to the operator error, the system was disabled in the point of question. The chair umpire followed the process.”
The French Open is now the only Grand Slam tournament that still uses line judges instead of electronic calls.
From 20 2007 to last year, players were given in-or-out calls in Wimbledon; A video review was appointed to decide whether the verdict was correct – the judge of a line – or the chair umpire. The challenge system was removed for the current tournament, but some tennis fans or observers were immediately demanded on social media to bring it back to the umpires in this assistance chair.
Pavlichhenkova agreed: “We should probably look for something else to make better decisions.”
Taylor Fritz did not see what happened in the quarter -finals with a win in a separate court on Sunday. But when it was explained by a reporter, his biggest question was why the chair umpire just made the call if it became so clear what the curtal shot actually happened.
“The chair should call the umpire,” 2024 US Open Finalist Fritz said. “If he doesn’t call the ball, why is he there?”
