Wimbledon organizers have apologized and explained that “human error” was the reason behind the electronic line-calling system being turned off during a match on Sunday.

Wimbledon's automated line-calling technology malfunctioned on Sunday and robbed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of a point in her round of 16 clash with Britain's Sonay Kartal.

The umpire who officiated the fourth-round match that featured a controversial line call is having a “rest day” on Monday, according to the All England Club 's chief executive.

Umpire Nico Helwerth called for a point to be replayed after the ELC system malfunctioned and didn't call Sonay Kartal's out.

The All England Club said the chair umpire who faced criticism for his decision following a malfunction of the Electronic Line Calling system was merely following protocols and his absence from the schedule on Monday was due to his rest day.
