Line calling system glitch halts play at Wimbledon qualifying

LONDON: Play was suspended briefly on all courts ​at the Wimbledon qualifying tournament on Wednesday because of a problem with the automated line calling ‌system.
Britain’s Dan Evans ‌had ​just ‌lost ⁠the ​first set ⁠of his match against Australian Tristan Schoolkate on a baking hot day at Roehampton ⁠when the problem ‌arose.
Line ‌judges were ​abolished last ‌year at Wimbledon ‌for the first time in the tournament’s history in favor ‌of the electronic system.
It is not the ⁠first ⁠time this week that the system has caused problems, with play also impacted on Monday.

It was announced that play would resume ​at ​1145 GMT.
