The Swedish referee Louise Azemar-Engzell called “Stop” in the opening game of the fourth set on Court One, when “error” was wrongly announced after a Fritz preliminary went well in the baseline.

The cry of the “error” and not “out” and the positioning of the ball indicated that the technology still pursued Fritz’s serve in contrast to a rally.

And the organizers of the tournament said: “The service movement of the player began, while the BBG (Ball Boy or Girl) still exceeded the network, and therefore the system did not recognize the beginning of the point. As such, the chairman indicated that the point was reproduced.”
