(Sports Seoul | Reporter Park Jun -bum) In the Wimbledon competition, electronic readers are in trouble.

Taylor Fritz (USA) and Karen Hakhanov (Russia) met on September 9 (Korea time) Wimbledon men’s singles quarterfinals. Fritz, who lost three sets after winning the first or two sets, was a 15-0 in the first game, and the incident took place.

Fritz’s sub has been declared as a ‘fault’. The referee stopped the game and confirmed the problem by phone. He informed the crowd, “We reverse our last point due to system failure. Now the system is working normal.”

All -England Club, which hosts the Wimbledon competition, said, “While crossing the Net Net, the player’s sub -motion began, and the line read system did not recognize the start of the play.

Fritz defeated Gakayov with a set score 3-1 (6-3 6-4 1-6 7-6). Wimbledon has been eliminating the trial since this competition and introducing an electronic reader to determine whether the line is out.

Earlier in the women’s department, electromagnetic readers stopped working. On the 6th, Anasta Pavlyu Chenko Bar (Russia) and Sony Catel (UK) were among the women’s singles in the 16th round. Catel’s attack fell out of the line, but the out decision was not made. The game won the game. The game was won by Pablu Chenko.

“I prefer humanity. If they don’t have it, the coat is so lonely. The electromagnetic reading must be very accurate and there is no mistake. I wonder why this malfunction occurs.” On the other hand, Fritz said, “The problem can occur. The electromagnetic reading seems to be much better because you do not have to worry about whether or not to challenge the line out during the game.” Beom2@sportsseoul.com
