Play is suspended at Wimbledon qualifying in Roehampton after the tournament’s electronic line-calling system fails during extreme temperatures. According to the reports, the stoppage occurs amid a heatwave, with officials unable to continue matches under the affected officiating technology. The system’s malfunction is cited as the reason for the interruption, rather than a decision about weather conditions affecting player health or other operational factors. One article also notes that the issue comes about a year after Wimbledon removed human line judges, leaving the electronic system as the primary method for determining line calls. The reports do not provide additional details on the specific matches impacted, how long the suspension lasts, or what alternative procedures—if any—are used while the system is down. Officials are expected to address the technical problem before play resumes, but the outlets cited here do not confirm a timeline.
