Wimbledon line technology fails again as Taylor Fritz reaches semi-finals
WIMBLEDON'S UNDER-FIRE line technology system suffered another embarrassing malfunction during Taylor Fritz's quarter-final win over Karen Khachanov today. Swedish umpire Louise Azemar Engzell had to stop 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 positioning of the ball suggested the system was still tracking Fritz's serve as opposed to a rally and the point had to be replayed. Tournament organisers claimed the system had failed to reset because the ball from Fritz's first serve was still being retrieved when he started lining up his second. 'The player's service motion began while the BBG (ball boy or girl) was still crossing the net and therefore the system didn't recognise the start of the point,' an All England Club statement said. 'As such the chair umpire instructed the point be replayed.' Wimbledon chiefs said earlier this week that they were confident of avoiding further issues with the technology after a major error in Sonay Kartal's fourth-round defeat to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the women's draw. On that occasion, the new system failed to call out when a shot by Kartal landed well behind the baseline. A fully automated system has replaced human line judges at Wimbledon for the first time this year, in line with the Australian Open and the US Open. Advertisement But there have been a number of glitches and concerns raised by other players about the technology, including British stars Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper. The controversy did not stop Fritz reaching his first Wimbledon semi-final as the American won 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (7/4). Khachanov was unhappy with the latest technological glitch and criticised the way the system has been used this year. 'Look, to be honest, I'm more for line umpires. Electronic line calls have to be very precise and no mistakes, but we've seen a couple. That's questionable why this is happening,' he said. 'Today I think there were a few calls. I don't know, very questionable if it's really touching the line or not. 'At the same time during one point, the machine call it just out during the rally. Sometimes it's scary to let machine do what they want, you know. 'What can I do? I can argue, and be angry on it or just continue playing. It's not in my power. It's already happened. I need to kind of accept it, and that's it.' Fritz will face the winner of defending champion Carlos Alcaraz's clash with Britain's Cameron Norrie in the last four. – © AFP 2025 Written by AFP and originally published on The 42 whose award-winning team produces original content that you won't find anywhere else: on GAA, League of Ireland, women's sport and boxing, as well as our game-changing rugby coverage, all with an Irish eye.

England take charge at European Amateur Team Championship in Killarney
England took the opening round lead at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club as the 11-time champions began their quest for another European Amateur Team Championship with an impressive -20 total. Charlie Forster was the star performer as the Basingstoke golfer carded a superb 65 in the Kerry sunshine. Hosts Ireland also got off to a solid start as Damien Coyne's men opened with an -11 total to take a share of third place, with Thomas Higgins (Roscommon) the best of the Irish carding a -4 round of 68. Stuart Grehan (Co Louth) was given the honour of leading out the Irish team on Tuesday morning as he teed up alongside 2024 Gold Medal winning Swedish golfer Albert Hansson. The Flogas Irish Men's Amateur Open Champion got the Irish off to a solid start with a 71, to lay a marker down for the rest of the team. Dundalk golfer, Caolan Rafferty kept that strong start going as he carded a 72 before debutant John Doyle (Fota Island) battled through some early round nerves to sign for an impressive -3 round of 69. With Ireland climbing the leaderboard, Amateur Championship runner-up, Gavin Tiernan (Co Louth) added to the tally with a 71, before the experienced Matt McClean (Malone) finished with a -2. It would be Higgins though who would take the bragging rights among the team as a single bogey on the first was quickly corrected, with the Clemson University star carding five birdies in an excellent finish. 'Played pretty solid,' said Higgins. 'Didn't start off great, bogey on one and then played pretty flawless from there on in. Didn't make a bogey from there so I was happy with my game and played well and held a few crucial par putts that were good momentum savers.' Iceland are searching for their first ever win at this event and they began in ideal fashion too as they will take second place overnight. Three of their players, Sveinsson (-5), Heidarsson (-5) and Sigurbrandsson (-4) played their way inside the individual top ten, helping hand their team a -13 opening day start. With 18 holes of stroke play remaining before match play takes over on Thursday morning the race is on for each country to take one of the coveted top eight spots, and with England taking the early advantage, Forster and his team are confident of another strong showing tomorrow. 'We have a really good team, all six players, it's quite nice. I'm sure we are going to be hunting more birdies tomorrow,' said Forster. 'Hopefully we can have another solid day tomorrow and show what we have got in the Match Play. I think we have got a really good team out there this year, so we'll see what happens.'
