Fresh Wimbledon controversy as new technology FAILS again after randomly calling in the middle of point as star broken
THE electronic line calling technology at Wimbledon failed AGAIN in another major blunder. Wimbledon came under fire after the incident on Sunday when the Hawk-Eye Live system was deactivated and did not call a Sonay Kartal shout out despite landing well long. 1 The chair umpire called for help after the Hawk Eye system failed at Wimbledon again Credit: Shutterstock Editorial And on Tuesday, the system malfunctioned yet again. This time, it inexplicably declared "fault" in the middle of a rally during Taylor Fritz's quarter-final with Karen Khachanov. Fritz served the opening game of the fourth set, leading 6-3 6-4 1-6 on No1 Court against the Russian No17 seed. At 15-0, his first serve down the T just missed the centre line and was called "fault". His second serve landed in the service box and Khachanov returned - although the speed of the second serve was not updated on the screen. Fritz then hit a forehand into the middle of the court. But as Khachanov struck another forehand, the fourth shot of the rally, the system boomed "fault" over the tannoy system, sparking confusion around the stadium. The umpire Louise Azemar-Engzell said: "Stop," to end the point due to the blunder. Most read in Tennis The BBC commentator immediately asked: "What was that?" Azemar-Engzell then tapped away on her tablet and got on the phone in the chair. She then confirmed over her microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, we will replay the last point due to a malfunction... "The system is now working." That prompted some boos from the crowd - following the drama around the incident involving Kartal. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..

I've signed for Jake Paul but I still take two trains, a bus and the tube to training, says humble champ Ellie Scotney
ELLIE SCOTNEY may have been signed by superstar Jake Paul - but her commute to training will always keep her humble. The unified super-bantamweight champion was signed to Paul's Most Valuable Promotions 4 Unified super-bantamweight champ Ellie Scotney is signed to Jake Paul 4 Scotney with her new promoter Paul Credit: @elliescotney_ And she makes her promotional debut on Friday as part of Netflix's all-women's card headlined by Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. But before Scotney jetted off to the Big Apple for her unification bout against Yamileth Mercado - she put the hard yards in camp with coach Shane McGuigan. And perhaps the most exhausting task of all was simply getting to McGuigan's Kent gym for the Queen of Catford. She told SunSport: 'Listen, still on the busses and the trains! Two trains, a tube and a bus. Ellie Scotney's Ms TFL out here.' READ MORE IN boxing Scotney tried her luck by sending Paul a message on Instagram but the YouTuber-turned-boxer - who has nearly 30 MILLION followers - ignored it. But fortunately, Paul's right-hand man and MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian Scotney, 27, joked: 'He's actually read it now! That's even worse. I'd rather be in his requests. But Nakisa came through and he opened it. "I just dropped Nakisa a message and everything kind of fell into place for me. It's been a bit of a mad one but I'm enjoying every second.'

Irish icon Taylor is Scotney's boxing hero while Serrano is part of the MVP family and a mentor to those she shares the stable with. Katie Taylor takes on Amanda Serrano in dramatic rematch at Madison Square Garden Serrano met Scotney in New York after her signing was announced. And Scotney revealed: "She embraced us and told me she's someone who's like, 'Look what I've done - I want you to go on and do more.' 'She's that sort of character and I think that's shown one, in her boxing and two, how she represents herself outside. 'She's taken us all under her wing and she's a wholesome soul.' Scotney has her eyes on undisputed glory at 8st 10lb - and believes she is in the right place to achieve it - but it starts on Friday at Madison Square Garden. She said: "I think it's everyone's dream and I'm two fights away but I've got a hard fight in front of me July 11th and I'll be going in to make a statement. 'Although I'm a unified champion, I never really got what comes with it. Whereas this is supplying that. 'It's one thing saying you want it, now it's in my hands I've got to run away with it and that's what I'll be doing July 11th.' 4 Scotney wants to become undisputed champion Credit: Getty

Legendary trainer's £100,000 horse ‘will be odds on for every race' after transformation from 300-1 no-hoper
HE is known for landing a touch or two - but even by Sir Mark Prescott's standards, this punt on Whatsgoingonmarvin was particularly filthy. Transformed from a 300-1 no-hoper, punters are now predicting the three-year-old will be 'odds on for every race' and win his next four or five after a sensational first triumph. Advertisement 1 Whatsgoingonmarvin's Ayr win was just typical Sir Mark - a 300-1 previous no-hoper who showed huge improvement stepping up in trip Credit: Getty In truth, the job on Whatsgoingonmarvin had all the hallmarks of a typical Sir Mark gamble. Sent off as big as 300-1 in four previous runs, Whatsgoingonmarvin had been kept to 7f and a mile. He never finished better than sixth and was pumped 23 lengths on his last run over a mile at Kempton before being gelded in November last year. To many, stepping a horse up to 1m5f after that would seem like madness. Advertisement But this is classic Sir Mark. Having gone off astronomical odds previously, Whatsgoingonmarvin was sent off 100-30 in the Class 5 handicap at Ayr on Monday. And, ridden by recent Queen Anne winner Paul Mulrennan, there was never a moment's worry for backers of the £100,000 son of Camelot. He made virtually all and ran out a ready winner, scooping the £4,123 first-place prize that surely paled in comparison to the punt followers of the horse landed. Advertisement Most read in Horse Racing Mulrennan was eager not to win by too much, protecting the horse's mark somewhat for the future. And it seems Arc de Triomphe-winning Sir Mark - who He is ready to back the horse up on Saturday and bang in another quickfire win. Whatsgoingonmarvin is entered in four races - the most profitable of which would be the 5.45 at Southwell worth £18,581 to the winner. Advertisement That is over 1m4f, but he has entries at Hamilton and Chester over 1m3f, 1m5f and 1m6½ respectively.
