Wimbledon Line Technology Fails Again, But Taylor Fritz Reaches Semi-Final
Last Updated: Wimbledon's new line technology faced criticism during Taylor Fritz's quarter-final win over Karen Khachanov. Despite glitches, Fritz won 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6. Wimbledon's line technology system faced more criticism during Taylor Fritz's quarter-final win over Karen Khachanov on Tuesday. Swedish umpire Louise Azemar Engzell had to halt a point in the opening game of the fourth set on Court One when 'fault" was incorrectly called after a Fritz forehand landed well inside the baseline. The call of 'fault", rather than 'out", and the positioning of the ball suggested the system was still tracking Fritz's serve instead of the rally, forcing a replay of the point. Tournament organisers had expressed confidence on Sunday that they would avoid further issues with the technology after a significant error in Sonay Kartal's fourth-round defeat to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the women's draw. In that instance, the new system failed to call out when a shot by Kartal landed well behind the baseline. A fully automated system replaced human line judges at Wimbledon for the first time this year, following the example of the Australian Open and the US Open. However, several glitches and concerns have been raised by other players about the technology, including British stars Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper. How Taylor Fritz Did Win? Despite the controversy, Fritz reached his first Wimbledon semi-final after a hard-fought match, winning 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (7/4). The fifth seed was on the brink of a first-round exit when he fell two sets down to Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and also was forced to five sets against Gabriel Diallo in round two. Fritz benefited from Jordan Thompson's early retirement in his fourth-round match and gathered his energy to withstand a fightback from Khachanov. One break of serve was sufficient for the American to secure the first two sets. Khachanov, who had won the two previous meetings between the players, responded at the start of the third set with a double break of Fritz's powerful serve. The Russian seemed poised to push Fritz to the limit again when he broke early in the fourth set. However, the world number five responded with a break in the fourth game and concluded his victory in just over two-and-a-half hours on a tie-break. Fritz will face the winner of defending champion Carlos Alcaraz's match against Britain's Cameron Norrie in the semi-final.

Wimbledon 2025: Aryna Sabalenka Stages Dramatic Comeback To Reach Semi-Finals
Last Updated: Aryna Sabalenka came back from behind to defeat Laura Siegemund 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals. Sabalenka aims for her fourth consecutive Grand Slam final. World number one Aryna Sabalenka pulled off a remarkable comeback to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals, defeating Germany's Laura Siegemund 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 on Tuesday. Sabalenka faced a tough challenge on Centre Court, trailing by a break twice in the final set and being just two games away from elimination. However, she staged a dramatic turnaround to secure victory in two hours and 54 minutes of intense play. The 27-year-old top seed has now reached the All England Club semi-finals for the third time, after previous appearances in 2021 and 2023. Having been beaten in the Australian and French Open finals this year, following her US Open win in 2024, Sabalenka is aiming for her fourth consecutive Grand Slam final. Sabalenka will compete against either American 13th seed Amanda Anisimova or Russian world number 50 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova for a place in the final. She remains the only one of the top six women's seeds still standing after a tournament full of surprises. How Aryna Sabalenka Beat Laura Siegemund? The three-time Grand Slam champion nearly became another high-profile exit in this memorable encounter. World number 104 Siegemund, primarily known for her doubles success, was competing in just her second Grand Slam singles quarter-final. Her impressive performance kept Sabalenka off balance for much of the match. The 37-year-old Siegemund's unexpected run included a win over Australian Open champion Madison Keys in the third round. Sabalenka needed everything she had to avoid becoming Siegemund's latest upset. Siegemund's skilful use of slice backhands and drop-shots troubled Sabalenka, leading to two breaks in the first three games of the opening set. Sabalenka managed to break back in the fourth game but Siegemund regained control, securing a third break and serving out the set at the second attempt. It was the first set Sabalenka had dropped in this year's tournament. Rising to the challenge, Sabalenka increased the power of her groundstrokes, marked by loud shrieks of determination. Her aggressive play led to three breaks, allowing her to level the match and become the first player to take a set off Siegemund in the 2025 tournament. Siegemund capitalised on a series of errors to break in the third game of the deciding set, but Sabalenka fought back to level at 3-3. When Sabalenka double-faulted and made two unforced errors, Siegemund was close to reaching the semi-finals. However, Sabalenka refused to give in, breaking again and ultimately securing her victory with a roar of relief. First Published: July 08, 2025, 21:20 IST
