CENTRE COURT — Russia’s Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova accused Wimbledon officials of deliberately favouring her opponent, Britain’s Sonay Kartal, after an issue with the Hawk-Eye system.
At a crucial point in the first set, the scoreline reading 4-4 and Pavlyuchenkova’s advantage on serve, umpire Nico Helwerth called an abrupt stop to proceedings.
A Kartal backhand appeared to have landed out, but there was a faut with the electronic line-calling (ELC).
“The electronic line-calling was unable to track the last point so we will replay the point,” Helwerth said, to which there were jeers from the crowd.
The decision to replay the point actually went in Kartal’s favour, and the British No 3 went on the break Pavlyuchenkova, much to the Russian’s dismay.
“I don’t know if it’s in or it’s out. How do I know? How can you prove it? Because she is local, they can say whatever. You took the game away from me,” she told Helwerth at the changeover.
