Wimbledon overhauls Hawk-Eye to avoid error repeat
Wimbledon Hawk-Eye software at the centre of the electric line-calling failure has been overhauled to ensure there are no more 'human error' mistakes. The technology has been amended urgently so operators can no longer accidentally untick the cameras following the mistake at a crucial stage of the fourth-round match between Sonay Kartal and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. During the incident in question, the cameras that monitor the ball on one side appeared to have been switched off with one click without the operator noticing. Intriguing scenes! Pavlyuchenkova thinks Kartal has put her forehand long and stops before the Brit slams back a winner. The umpire checks and confirms the electronic line calling system was unable to track the point, which leads to the point being replayed. #Wimbledon — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 6, 2025 The error has left officials 'deeply disappointed' with the failure. But as investigations were launched into the situation, the All England Club has been left certain the technology has been operating flawlessly when it is in operation. Pavlyuchenkova, who would have moved 5-4 ahead had the call been made, was furious with umpire Nico Helwerth for ordering the point to be replayed, accusing him of stealing the game and the tournament of home bias. Organisers apologised to both players. Chief executive Sally Bolton said on Monday: 'It was important for us to to explain as much as we could at that point in time what we believed had happened, and to apologise to the players for it happening in the first place. We're deeply disappointed that this has happened in the Championships. It was a human error. The ball-tracking technology is working effectively.' The system has replaced line judges for the first time this year and such a high-profile error has been hugely embarrassing. Wimbledon is convinced, however, that its technology tweak on Monday has addressed the issue.
