Technology Fails Again

Wimbledon: Fritz Through as Sabalenka Battles into the Semifinals

- 

Wimbledon's controversial line technology system malfunctioned again as Taylor Fritz beat Karen Khachanov to reach his first Wimbledon semifinal, while world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka survived a scare to make the last four yesterday.

Swedish umpire Louise Azemar Engzell had to stop a point in the opening game of the fourth set on Court One when "fault" was incorrectly called after a Fritz forehand landed well inside the baseline.

The call of "fault", rather than "out", and positioning of the ball suggested the system was still tracking Fritz's serve as opposed to a rally and the point had to be replayed.
