You cannot be serious! Line-calling system under fire after major glitch

LONDON — Wimbledon's automated line-calling technology came under fire on Sunday, after an embarrassing malfunction robbed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of a point during her last-16 victory over Britain's Sonay Kartal on Centre Court.

Russian Pavlyuchenkova had reached game point at 4-4 in the opening set when Kartal hit a shot that looked clearly long, but there was no call and Pavlyuchenkova stopped play.

An automated voice call of "stop, stop" rang out, and confusion reigned as umpire Nico Helwerth sought advice from tournament organizers via telephone.
