Wimbledon's much-vaunted automated line-calling system has come under fire from a disgruntled player who complained of home bias after it malfunctioned at a crucial point of a fourth-round clash on Centre Court.
Former French Open champion Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova was robbed of a point during her last-16 victory over Britain's Sonay Kartal on Sunday because of the glitch, leading the Russian veteran to complain bitterly.
Serving at game point at 4-4 in the opening set, Kartal hit a shot that was clearly long, prompting Pavlyuchenkova to stop playing the point.
