Why this moment BROKE Wimbledon’s AI line judge as SW19 bosses face new controversy over ball boy blame game amid star’s call to stop the ‘machines’

Wimbledon’s new electronic line calling system was exposed to another error and caused chaos in the first court, a Wimbledon Ball child was thrown under the bus.

Taylor Fritz and Karen Khachanov’s quarter -final conflict was stopped when he called for a ghost ‘error’, although it was a meter in the system base line.

This has been replacing a 147 -year -old line dominant tradition since technology has made its second Grand Gaffe since the arrival of this summer tournament.

On this occasion, the technology failed because a ball child did not come out of the court surface when he started his service, so he could not realize that the game had started – and there are suggestions since it should be accused of setback.

The rally continued for three strokes before an automatic ‘error’ shout, because Fritz hit the ball outside the service area.

The referee Louise Azemar-Engzell had to suspend the game and call for the referees’ office, and the point of the first match of the fourth set between Fritz and Khachanov had to be repeated.

Filming on TV showed the series of controversial events that caused Balloy to be accused of the latest calligraphy in this year’s showcase event.

Technology could not realize that Fritz served and later called it a wrong ‘error’, he had to delay the game with the referee with the referee

Russian star Karen Khachanov asked for the re -introduction of the traditional human line judges

In the Boos choir, the referee explained: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we will repeat the last point due to a malfunction with the system.’

All England Club spokesman said: ‘BBG (Ball Boys and Girl) still started the network’s service movement as the network started, and therefore the system did not recognize the beginning of the point.

‘In this way, he instructed the chair referee to repeat.’ ‘

Russia Khachanov, who continued to lose the match to one of three sets, wanted to bring back traditional line judges and said it was ‘scary’ to leave the decisions to the machines.

“To be honest, more for line referees,” he said.

“ I think there are a few calls like today. I don’t know, [it’s] It really touches the line or if not, it is very controversial.

At one point, at the same time, the machine only called it during the rally. Sometimes it is scary to allow [the] Machines do what they want. ‘

However, Fritz, who will face Alcaraz in the semifinals on Friday, supported the new technology.

Taylor Fritz, who progressed to the semi -finals, threw his weight behind the new technology

The system did not realize that when Fritz hit the ball outside the service area, the point started and called the error to the interval.

Iconic Wimbledon Line Judges led to technology in a controversial change

There will be some problems here and there. Unlike the referees, I think it is still better to call the electronic line, ” he said.

“ I love not to think about challenging calls in the middle of the scores. I love we don’t have to discuss the calls. The ball is wanted and that’s all. This is a better system. ‘

The club accused the issues related to the ‘human error’ system for the second time after missing three calls when it was accidentally closed in the fourth round match on Sunday.

Technology, British star Sonay Kartal’ın Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova’ya during the match was disabled for more than six minutes and caused the couple to repeat this point.

The bosses said that the system was ‘full confidence’ and raised the system overnight to prevent it from being closed again.

The leading British Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu also complained about the accuracy of the system widely used in other tournaments.

The ELC system was created by Hawk-Eye, a company responsible for the challenge system introduced in Wimbledon in 2007.

Known as Hawk-Eye Live, it was first used in the ATP Next Gene Finals in Milan in 2018, and later in 2020 it was more widely accepted during the COVİD-19 pandemia.

After calling 147 years of shooting, a computer decides whether it is now in the ball

Hawk-Eye Live System has been used for several years in the tour

300 rows of judges have been used every year, in the court at any time in nine

It uses 18 cameras around the court to track the orbit of the ball, and a computer works in real time.

A video operator removes the technology from the court, but automatically ‘output’ and ‘error’ calls are triggered within one -tenth of a second of the ball landing and the court is broadcasted through speakers.

For calls, Wimbledon uses the recorded voices of all England club staff, including tour guides. Only one voice will be heard in each match, but different courts have different sounds to prevent confusion.

This year’s Australian Open, Kartal, was stopped on their runway after serving and hearing ‘Out’, but the call came from a adjacent court and lost the point.

Each year, about 300 lines of judges were used in Wimbledon every year, nine people were used at any time in court. They can earn up to £ 200 per day and earn costs. However, this was never about money for men and women who had gone away from their daily work in Honor of Working in SW19.

Tuesday’s fault came when Cameron Norrie hit the champion Carlos Alcaraz. The last British player in the tournament, the 29 -year -old child, Spanish 22 years old, just 39 minutes later lost in flat sets.

Sienna Miller led a royal box full of stars watching the quarter -final match at the Central Court and joined the 62 -year -old actress Jodie Foster. 43 -year -old female Miller wore a flower mini dress on the nine days of the championships. The 45 -year -old classic singer Katherine Jenkins took action from the royal box in an embroidered pink dress.

Tom Holland watched from the stands, Alcaraz’a wished good luck in front of the match. And actor Sir Mark Rylance seemed animated while watching the victory of the world No1 No1 Aryna Sabalenga through Laura Siegemund in the early hours of the day.
