Missing line judges? Wimbledon organisers apologise after line-calling system failure
Wimbledon's bold move to fully embrace technology and retire traditional line judges this year faced a harsh reckoning on Sunday, after a human error involving the electronic line-calling system (ELC) triggered confusion and controversy on Centre wildcard Sonay Kartal and Russian veteran Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova were caught in a chaotic moment during their last-16 clash when the AI-enhanced Hawk-Eye Live system failed to register a critical point. The incident occurred with Pavlyuchenkova serving at 4-4, game point in the first set. Kartal's return appeared to land well beyond the baseline, but with the line-calling system inexplicably silent, no "out" call was automated "STOP STOP" voice rang through the stadium as umpire Nico Helwerth tried to contact officials to clarify the situation. Replays confirmed the ball had landed long, yet the point was ordered to be replayed - a decision that left Pavlyuchenkova fuming. "They took the game away from me," the 34-year-old told Helwerth at the changeover. "They stole it from me. Because she's local, they can say whatever." Kartal broke serve in the very next game to lead 5-4, though Pavlyuchenkova eventually regrouped and closed out a 7-6 (3), 6-4 win to reach the Wimbledon on the missed line call during her match with Kartal at Wimbledon'If you had lost the match because of that call, which was possible because it gave her a break.. how would you be feeling?'Anastasia: 'I would just say I hate Wimbledon and never come back. I'd The Tennis Letter (@TheTennisLetter) July 6, 2025The All England Club later issued an apology, admitting that the system had been "deactivated in error on part of the server's side of the court for one game." The organisers confirmed that three calls were missed during that game, including the disputed one."We continue to have full confidence in the accuracy of the ball-tracking technology," they said in a statement. "This did not happen. In this instance, there was a human error, and as a consequence, we have fully reviewed our processes and made the appropriate changes."Pavlyuchenkova, however, questioned both the reliability of the system and the responsibility of the chair umpire. "I expected a different decision," she said. "The umpire told me after the match he saw it was out. That's why he's sitting on the chair - to take that decision. But he didn't. I think he was probably scared to take such a big decision."Had the point cost her the match, she added with a wry smile, "I would just say that I hate Wimbledon and never come back here."Kartal, making her Centre Court debut just a year after being ranked outside the top 250, admitted she hadn't seen where the ball landed. "It's tough luck. What can you do?" said the 22-year-old, who still called the experience "a dream," despite her incident has reignited the debate around Wimbledon's new line-calling system. Emma Raducanu, Jack Draper, and Belinda Bencic have all raised concerns about its accuracy during this year's Championships. "There were some pretty dodgy ones," Raducanu said after her loss to Aryna echoed those sentiments. "We should probably look into something else to have better decisions," she said, suggesting that a backup system may be on a dramatic day at SW19, British No. 3 Cameron Norrie survived a five-set marathon against Chile's Nicols Jarry to reach the quarter-finals. After four and a half hours of punishing tennis, the 29-year-old prevailed 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (7), 6-7 (5), 6-3, collapsing to the turf in exhaustion and relief on No.1 match wasn't without tension. Jarry, ranked 143 in the world, grew visibly frustrated with Norrie's serving routine and later confronted him at the net. The crowd responded with boos, but Jarry downplayed any friction, saying he merely told Norrie he deserved the win."I just had to keep fighting," said a jubilant Norrie after sealing his place in the last eight. "I've been struggling with confidence at the start of the year. But I enjoyed it today, and that's what mattered."- Ends

ENG vs IND: Shubman Gill prepares to hunt down Gavaskar, Bradman after epic start to series
India captain Shubman Gill has started his England Test series exceptionally well. Gill has hit 3 hundreds in his first two matches, playing a crucial role in India levelling the series in the 2nd Test at already 585 runs in the bag, Gill is extremely well placed to create history in Test cricket by going past the tallies of the legendary Sunil Gavaskar and Don Bradman. Gavaskar holds the record for most runs by an Indian batter in any Test series. Gavaskar scored 774 runs in 4 matches in India's historic Test outing in West Indies way back in 1970/71. Gavaskar batted at an average of 154.80 in that vs IND, 2nd Test: Match Report Similarly, the list of most runs by a batter in a single Test series is led by Don Bradman, who slammed 974 runs in 5 matches when Australia travelled to England in 1930. Bradman batted at a ridiculous average of 139.14, which also included his legendary 334, an iconic mark in Australian to India Today, Sunil Gavaskar said that Shubman would be a worthy contender to break his record in Test cricket. Gavaskar called Gill the most technically pure player and hoped that a SG (Shubman Gill) would go past another SG (Sunil Gavaskar) in this Test series."He is a worthy contender. I think Lord's is where that record will go. The purity of his technique is wonderful to watch. He's got all the shots in the book, and more importantly, he has the wonderful ability to shoulder the responsibility of the team," Gavaskar said."Records are meant to be broken. I would be delighted if another 'SG' takes that record," he former batter added that it would be truly special if Gill became the first ever player to score 1000 runs in a single Test series."I think more than that (Bradman's record), what would be truly amazing is if he becomes the first-ever batter to score 1000 runs in a series. There are a minimum of six innings left in the series. And with the kind of form he's shown, there's every hope that he can set records that would be virtually impossible to break," Gavaskar Test Highlights | Full ScorecardGAVASKAR ON GILL'S CAPTAINCYSpeaking about the young player's captaincy, Gavaskar said that Gill did not need to change his style. Gavaskar stated that Gill was a calm and composed guy with the bat and simply needed to bring that into his captaincy attributes, which he has already done in the first two Test matches."I mean, he got a hundred in his first Test. Now, a hundred in each innings of the second Test. Captaincy sits lightly on his shoulders, and he has a pleasant air about him on the field. Yes, he is very competitive. Yes, he wants wickets. But there's just this pleasant air about him, which makes life easier for all those playing under him," Gavaskar said about Gill."I do believe he doesn't have to change his style. What he is—the calmness he shows while batting—is the same calmness he has brought into his captaincy. That's his style, and he should stick to it. It works well for him," the legendary cricketer concluded.- EndsTune In

Mexico beat U.S. 2-1 to win 10th Gold Cup title
Mexico defeated the United States 2-1 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas on Sunday (July 6, 2025) to successfully defend their CONCACAF Gold Cup crown and capture their 10th title in a pulsating final that delivered drama from start to finish. The U.S. went ahead just four minutes in when Sebastian Berhalter's free-kick found Chris Richards, whose powerful header struck the underside of the crossbar and cannoned straight down, with the referee confirming the goal was good. Mexico found the equalizer through Raul Jimenez in the 27th minute after the striker converted from close range. He then dedicated the goal to the late Diogo Jota, his former Wolverhampton Wanderers teammate, by holding up a Mexico shirt with the Portuguese forward's name on it. "We came from behind and are leaving with the title," Jimenez said. "It's great and really important to clinch the crown a summer before the World Cup. It's something we've been trying to do since the tournament began." Despite Mexico's first-half dominance they struggled to capitalise on numerous golden opportunities. Roberto Alvarado and 16-year-old Gilberto Mora both tested U.S. goalkeeper Matt Freese, with Mora's venomous long-range effort requiring a crucial save from the American shot-stopper. The U.S. created chances through the slick combination play of Malik Tillman and Berhalter but could not breach Mexico's resolute defence again. Alex Freeman came closest when his header struck Mexico goalkeeper Luis Malagon in the face and Diego Luna blazed the rebound over the crossbar. Mexico cranked up the pressure after the break and got the crucial second goal when Edson Alvarez powered home a header, though there was a nervous wait due to a VAR review for potential offside. However, the goal stood and the Mexican contingent erupted with wild celebrations. "I'm speechless. We spent 35 days in intense training, away from our families, with the intention of winning. There's certainly room for improvement, but we're leaving happy and with our feet firmly on the ground," midfielder Alvarez said. "When they first disallowed the goal, it was crazy. It threw me off balance, but I was really happy to see that it was valid." Patrick Agyemang had the chance to equalise in the dying minutes but his finish just missed the mark in a tense finale as Mexico held firm to secure their triumph. Mexico's victory secures back-to-back Gold Cup triumphs and brings them a record-extending 10th crown. Mexico also won the CONCACAF Nations Championship, the Gold Cup's predecessor, three times.
