Sonay Kartal's match against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova was forced to undergo a brief pause after the technology failed to acknowledge a ball was out in the opening set. Kartal overhit the ball beyond the baseline but the out call never arrived from the automated line calling technology.
The game was then paused as the umpire attempted to clarify the error before the point ultimately had to be replayed. On his courtside phone, the official established the situation but was not able to overule the procession.
"The electronic line calling system was unable to track the last point so we will replay the point," he told the players and crowd.
If the out call had been made Pavlyuchenkova would have won the game against her British opponent on Centre Court.
Aftere losing the resultant game, Pavlyuchenkova was understandably frustrated and said: "they've stole a game from me. they've stole it"
British star Emma Raducana had earlier criticised the technology following her Wimbledon exit. "Yeah, I mean, that call [against Sabalenka] was, like, for sure out," Raducanu said in her post-match press conference. "It's kind of disappointing, the tournament here, that the calls can be so wrong.
"For the most part they've been okay. It's just, like, I've had a few in my other matches, too, that have been very wrong. So yeah, I don't know. Hopefully they can kind of fix that."
