- Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova claimed a game was "stolen" from her during her Wimbledon match against Sonay Kartal due to a failure of the electronic line-calling (ELC) system.
- A shot by Kartal that was clearly out was not called by the ELC, leading to the point being replayed, which Pavlyuchenkova subsequently lost.
- This incident resulted in Pavlyuchenkova losing her serve and the game, prompting her to voice strong frustration to the umpire.
- Despite the controversial point and game loss, Pavlyuchenkova broke back immediately and ultimately won the first set in a tiebreak, meaning the incident did not cost her the set.
- This year marks the first time Wimbledon has used the ELC system, which replaces human line judges and uses 18 cameras to track the ball and make automated calls.
