I'm assuming that, with the regular change of ends, Sabalenka would have had the same technology monitoring her shots. It sounds like the excuse of a sulky brat, who didn't take kindly to getting beat.
Wimbledon 2025: Emma Radacanu does not trust 'dodgy' electronic line calls
Emma Raducanu says she does not trust electronic line-calling at Wimbledon, pointing to "dodgy" calls in her defeat by Aryna Sabalenka.www.bbc.co.uk
Is she a Scouser? Because it's never her fault.
Someone on 5 live said that Raducanu was absolutely brilliant and narrowly lost. Then asked to mark Sabalenka and gave her a b-
As I said earlier and above, he's got a decent shot to face Sinner, now with fellow Italian Sonego in the way. It won't be easy, but Ben hasn't dropped a service yet, so I definitely favor him, despite the relatively "easy path" he has had thus far.
I'm not going to be too hard on Raducunu. Did she have chances to win either sets? Absolutely, and I was very impressed at how close she stayed during that time. She was up a break in the 2nd too, so it was possible for her to keep it going, but all credit to the World #1 she was playing who got it together to turn it around in the 2nd. I almost posted something here last night, but in not seeing anything otherwise yet, I wanted to be respectful of those that just watched things and how tough the loss was.

I will take the electronic line calls over the human eye any day of the week.Wimbledon 2025: Emma Radacanu does not trust 'dodgy' electronic line calls

Yeah!
It's great when it works. The human eye could see that Kartal shot at 4-4 in the first set was out by a long way, the electronic line call couldn't.
Was a good match, and he didn’t lose a service game.

Yeah, it's a great system for the most part (with video replay).... when it is actually turned on.
Wimbledon electronic line calling: Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova loses game after system ‘deactivated’
It is the first year Wimbledon is using electronic line calling instead of line judges.
I was at a small ATP Challenger Tour 100 yesterday and it wasn't turned off once and worked just fine.
Also seemed a shame they decided to replay the point that Pavlyuchenkova clearly won too.
Interesting to read how the US and Australian Opens use video replay and Wimbledon does not. Wasn't aware of that, perhaps they should. No complaints there with 2+ years in use at those tourneys.
Pavlyuchenkova also called for video replay to be added to the ELC protocol. It is used at the U.S. Open and Australian Open, but not at Wimbledon.
One suggestion that ESPN's Chris Fowler also recommended during the tournament and before today's incident would be an added electronic board where calls such as "OUT" could be shown in addition to vocal call in case it is not heard over the crowd. Some place where both players could see it too.
I agree, but then I can't remember the last post-event sports interview that gave too much insight. All the post-match stuff for football is just the managers and players telling you what you already saw with your own eyes.
