Line calling ‘errors' continue to cause Wimbledon drama
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.

Jury shown CCTV footage of alleged assault on police at Manchester Airport
CCTV footage of the alleged assault of three police officers at Manchester Airport has been played to jurors. Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, and his brother, Muhammad Amaad, 26, are said to have struck out after police were called to respond to an incident at the Starbucks cafe in Terminal 2 arrivals on July 23 last year, when Amaaz is said to have headbutted a customer. Minutes later, three officers – Pc Zachary Marsden and Pc Ellie Cook, who were both armed, and unarmed Pc Lydia Ward – approached the defendants at the paystation in T2's car park. On Monday, a jury at Liverpool Crown Court watched airport camera footage from opposite angles which captured what the Crown say was a 'high level of violence' used by the defendants towards the officers. The prosecution say Amaaz resisted as police tried to move him away from a payment machine to arrest him, and then Amaad intervened. Junior counsel Adam Birkby suggested that Amaaz threw 10 punches, which included one to the face of Pc Ward that knocked her to the floor, and that Amaad aimed six punches at firearms officer Pc Marsden. Amaaz is also said to have kicked Pc Marsden and twice struck firearms officer Pc Cook with his elbow. He is said to have punched Pc Marsden from behind and then had hold of him before Pc Cook discharged her Taser device. Amaaz had his arm around Pc Marsden's neck as both fell to the floor, Mr Birkby said, before the officer got to his feet. Mr Birkby went on: 'Mr Amaaz, while prone, lifts his head towards the officers. Pc Marsden kicks Mr Amaaz around the head area. 'Pc Marsden stamps his foot towards the crown of Mr Amaaz's head area but doesn't appear to connect with Mr Amaaz.' Footage from the body-worn cameras of the three officers was also played to the jury. Amaaz is alleged to have assaulted Pc Marsden and Pc Ward, causing them actual bodily harm. He is also accused of the assault of Pc Cook and the earlier assault of a member of the public, Abdulkareem Ismaeil, at Starbucks. Amaad, 26, is alleged to have assaulted Pc Marsden, causing actual bodily harm. Both men, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, deny the allegations.

Five people have pleaded not guilty to murdering a woman who was shot dead in South Wales.

On Monday, seven people appeared before Cardiff Crown Court to deny charges in connection with her death. Joshua Gordon, 27, Marcus Huntley, 20, Jordan Mills-Smith, 33, Kristina Ginova, 21, and Tony Porter, 68, all pleaded not guilty to murder.

Sai Raj Manne, 25, of no fixed address, and Molly Cooper, 33, from Leicester, also denied participating in the activities of an organised crime group. Manne pleaded not guilty to possessing, purchasing or acquiring a firearm, namely an 8mm calibre self-loading pistol modified to enable the discharge of ammunition without legal authority. Cooper denied possessing, purchasing or acquiring ammunition, namely 16 live 8mm calibre blank pistol cartridges reloaded with improvised projectiles, without having a firearms certificate. An eighth defendant, Melissa Quailey-Dashper, 39, from Leicester, is also charged with Ms Penney's murder but did not attend court on Monday. Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke, the Recorder of Cardiff, heard that a nine-week trial is due to begin on October 20 this year. She remanded the defendants in custody ahead of the next hearing in the case. An inquest into Ms Penney's death which opened in March was told she died after being shot in the chest at an address in Llys Illtyd, in Talbot Green, causing injuries to her heart and lung. Emergency services found Ms Penney with serious injuries and she was pronounced dead. In a tribute issued after her death, Ms Penney's family said: 'We are devastated by the tragic loss of our beloved Joanne. She was a daughter, mother, sister and niece – loved deeply by all who knew her. 'Her kindness, strength and love for her family will never be forgotten.'
