Wimbledon AI Line Tech Malfunctions During Fritz Quarterfinal Win
Wimbledon's newly implemented fully automated line-calling system, which replaced human line judges this year, has faced multiple malfunctions during the tournament. The technology erroneously called a 'fault' on Taylor Fritz's forehand during his men’s quarter-final against Karen Khachanov, interrupting play and leading to a replay of the point. This incident echoed a previous error where the system failed to call 'out' on a shot during Sonay Kartal's fourth-round match, prompting accusations of bias and an investigation that revealed the technology was turned off in error on part of the court. Despite the controversies and complaints from players including Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper, Fritz advanced to his first Wimbledon semi-final after a hard-fought victory. Tournament organizers had expressed confidence in resolving these issues after earlier malfunctions, but the recent errors have raised concerns about the system's reliability and the removal of traditional line judges. Wimbledon officials have yet to provide further comment on the ongoing technical difficulties.
