  3. 'I’ve had a love affair with chair umpires for years'published at 21:54 British Summer Time 6 July

    Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash, speaking about the electronic line-calling system failing earlier today: "Absolutely ridiculous. That ball was clearly out. It was game point and a huge point in the match for both players' careers. The chair umpire is there for that entire reason.

    "It was clearly out so I don’t understand why he couldn't just call it out, call the game and sort it out at the change of ends. It is mind-boggling that he couldn’t call that out. That is what he is there for. He doesn't have to do much at all. It was four inches out.

    "He did actually stop them, agreed that it was out, but said that the machine didn’t call it out so let’s just replay the point. So what if the machine didn’t say it? It was like: 'Computer says no'. It was so far out and right in front of his face. What else does he have to do?

    "I've had a love affair with chair umpires for a number of years."

    On whether Sonay Kartal could’ve made the call: "That was her call. It would probably have been the right thing to do and it would have been game. But, in the end, it is the umpire's decision and he could have overruled her call and said they were going to replay the point anyway."

    On whether there is someone physically on court that could be a second umpire nowadays: "It's a very good question. At this stage, I don't think so. If everything goes down, what happens? The tournament stops? I'm sure the club will be thinking about this for next year. It is a great tournament and this is why the clubs get together to talk about these minor failures. They will come up with an emergency solution for sure."

    Umpire Nico Helwerth - who did not know the system had been turned off - made two of the affected calls himself before the incident highlighted by Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

    "We have apologised to the players involved," a spokesperson for the All England Club said. "We continue to have full confidence in the accuracy of the ball-tracking technology.

    "In this instance, there was a human error and as a consequence we have fully reviewed our processes and made the appropriate changes."

    Pavlyuchenkova went on to win the match in straight sets to reach the quarter-finals.

  6. 'Human error' - Wimbledon sorry over missed line callspublished at 21:44 British Summer Time 6 July

    Wimbledon organisers have apologised after the electronic line-calling system on Centre Court was turned off in error and missed three calls in one game.

    Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova said a game was "stolen" from her after there was no "out" call when a Sonay Kartal backhand went long in the first set of their fourth-round match.

    The Russian stopped after seeing the ball go long and chair umpire Nico Helwerth halted play.

    The All England Club initially said the system was "deactivated on the point in question" because of "operator error".

    A spokesperson said later on Sunday that, after further investigation, it was found that the technology was "deactivated in error on part of the server's side of the court for one game" and during that time three calls on the affected side of the court were not picked up.

    Before we go, let's bring you up to speed with one of the stories of the day at Wimbledon...

  8. Anisimova through to quarter-finalspublished at 21:37 British Summer Time 6 July

    Noskova 2-6 7-5 4-6 Anisimova

    There was a spell when she was a break down in the deciding set when Amanda Anisimova looked externally like she wanted to be anywhere else other than Court One.

    But she showed huge amounts of resilience and quality to turn the match back in her favour.

    With so many big seeds falling early, she's a dangerous presence in the women's quarter-final draw.

    Game, set and match - Anisimovapublished at 21:34 British Summer Time 6 July

    Noskova 2-6 7-5 4-6 Anisimova

    Amanda Anisimova is a mercurial talent. When she gets it right, she can almost be impossible to stop.

    Her power proves too much for Linda Noskova in what proves to be the final game of the match and it's the American 13th seed who is through to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon for the second time in her career.

    Amanda Anisimova considers throwing her racquet again after netting to fall 15-30 down on serve, but thinks better of it and stops herself.

    She recovers quickly and lets out a loud "come on" after firing down an ace.

    Linda Noskova serving to stay in Wimbledon 2025.

    Linda Noskova holds serve in a game during which Amanda Anisimova smacks her racquet into the Wimbledon turf and gets a warning from the chair umpire.

    Tension, frustration - probably a combination of the two.

    A quick service hold puts Amanda Anisimova 4-3 in front in the deciding set and piles the pressure on Linda Noskova.

    This'll really lift Amanda Anisimova!

    Maybe a little bit of tension in the right arm of Linda Noskova but Anisimova takes full advantage and raises her own level to break back to love.

    All square once more but the momentum has swung ever so slightly the way of the American.

    There's just the one remaining match to complete on day seven at Wimbledon and that's on Court One, where Linda Noskova has taken control of her fourth-round tie against Amanda Anisimova.

    The Czech player broke in the third game of the deciding set.

    Anisimova could have wilted at that point, but she has found some aggression in her game to move back to only 3-2 behind.

    Rublev 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 4-6 4-6 Alcaraz

    Carlos Alcaraz on court playing Carlos Alcaraz off court - it would be a really close match wouldn't it?

    What's not to like? He so gets it. He has so much time for everybody. He always give great answers to the post-match questions and he even shows his humour.

    Wrap him up in cotton wool and cherish him. This 22-year-old is just a wonderful advocate for the sport. He is a magnificent part of it.

  16. 'I let him win'published at 21:14 British Summer Time 6 July

    Rublev 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 4-6 4-6 Alcaraz

    We also got a much-awaited update on the battle on the golf course between Andy Murray and Carlos Alcaraz...

    Andy Murray said the decider took place yesterday and you can let us know the score? "I don’t remember playing match yesterday.

    "I have to say… he beat me.

    "We were playing in his home so it will be bad if I beat him, so I let him win."

    World number two Carlos Alcaraz speaking after reaching Wimbledon quarter-final: "Andrey is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, player on tour. So aggressive on the ball.

    "To face him is, he is pushing you to the limit in every ball. Makes it really difficult to face him, but really happy with the way I played today - intelligent, smart, tactically well against him, which I’m really proud about."

    On knowing he could come back from a set down: "It is just about belief in yourself. It doesn’t matter you are set down.

    "Tennis can change in one point. One point can change a match completely. You have to stay there all the time, be strong mentally. I stayed there and knew that I was going to play better.

    "It was just a few points in the first set. So I said ‘keep going’, make most of chances he brought to me and the break I did in second set turned around everything. I started to play more clam and think more clearly."

    On facing Cameron Norrie in next round: "Every time I can turn up on this beautiful court it is a gift so I have to make the most of all the times I get on this court.

    "It will be really difficult. Cam is playing great, I know him well, will be interesting but I’m just excited about playing quarter final here."

    What a fantastic match. That was just extraordinary ball-striking from Carlos Alcaraz. The serving ability and variety that this man has was just a bit too much for his opponent.

    Andrey Rublev had a great match. He probably played three average games, the rest of the time he played really well.

    That's all it takes though.

    Carlos Alcaraz completes another escape.

    He just has that special ability to captivate an audience and take them along for the ride.

    There’s a lot of love for Andrey Rublev - and rightfully so - as the 14th seed exits following an admirable effort on Centre Court.

    Now we can get very excited about a quarter-final between the defending champion and the last remaining Briton in the singles draws…

    Centre Court rises as one.

    Carlos Alcaraz has 18 wins in a row now at Wimbledon and 22 wins in a row on tour. He hasn't lost in playing time at SW19 for over 51 hours and 51 minutes.

    The three-peat is still very much on.
