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..

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. Summing up the horse, one punter wrote on X: "Whatsgoingonmarvin a proper Prescott job - that's gonna win four or five I think."
