Wimbledon 2025: Organisers apologise after missing three calls after electronic line-calling system deactivated in one game

When there are line judges, players can challenge calls using an electronic examination. There is no difficulty under the existing system and video repetitions are not used.

Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash, speaking about the scope of BBC One, said the chair referee did not call the ball himself.

“The chair referee is therefore there,” he said.

“Obviously he was out, so I don’t understand why he couldn’t just say, he couldn’t call the game, and he listed the changes in the changes.

“What if the machine didn’t say that?

Pavlyuchenkova suggested that tennis should use video controls such as football “So we can examine the point”.

“I think this was necessary in such a big incident, because it didn’t happen for the first time.”

He said that the referees are there to make big decisions, otherwise they can “play without them”, “I think the chair referee should be able to take the initiative.

“This is what he’s there, and that’s why he sits in that chair, otherwise we can make a match without a chair referee.”
