The controversy is more than served in an edition of Wimbledonthe current one, which was intuited precisely as the opposite, as a space free of doubts. Or at least that's what I said Sally Boltondirector of the English Grand Slam, when she confirmed that the line judges would be replaced after 147 years by cameras that would follow the trajectory of the ball and provide a more precise arbitration. That was the intention.
The opposite has happened in the round of 16 match between Pavlyuchenkova y Eaglethis last local tennis player. The first set walked tight and the Russian was at a point to take it. Kartal's setback went long, he saw himself with the naked eye, but the electronic system did not sing it because at that moment he stopped working. The chair judge decided to repeat the point and ended up carrying Kartal, as well as the game that allowed him to break the Pavlyuchenkova serve.
«You have stolen the game»The Russian tennis player Bramó. Fortunately for her and in honor of sports justice, the game had no direct influence on the scoreboard. Well, Pavlyuchenkova took both the first set and the game and advanced to the quarterfinals. «I would simply say that I hate Wimbledon and would never come back. I would say that I hate the grass and the tournament, ”said the Russian on whether the loss of the point had cost her more. He also spoke on the decision of the chair judge and analyzed the route of new technologies in Wimbledon.

«I think it is also difficult for the chair judge. I was probably afraid to make such an important decision. But for that they are. But, I think we'll play without them and everything will be automatic. I think we are losing the charm a bit, it becomes a bit strange, as if it were a robot. However, they are very good imposing fines and infractions of the code. This is noticeable. Always, however small, they are there to act. I would prefer that they review the lines and better mark errors, ”he made clear.
Alcaraz also complained about the new Wimbledon system
During the Murcian party against struffed struff Third round, a right of the German tennis player fell to the bottom of the track and the new hawk eye gave it as valid, while Carlitos I expected otherwise. That showed his reaction. He looked at the referee with disbelief and subsequently verbalized it. «There are some decisions that I am not sureIt is not the first time, ”he explained. The point was the German tennis player and the doubts the new system implemented.
This is Wimbledon's definitive step towards current tennis. The most classic circuit tournament has eliminated a 147 -year -old tradition. It has also remodeled the track with a retractable roof and has approved the extension project of the All England Club. It still maintains the white color in clothing as a fundamental piece of its regulations, although each edition relaxes the strict standard. Advertising in the shirts and the older freedom were allowed when choosing a darker color. All according to tennis of the 21st century.
