Wimbledon will follow the lead of the Australian and US Opens and employ a video review system on its biggest courts, one year on from a tournament wreathed in electronic line calling missteps. Smaller courts will see the technology in use until the conclusion of singles events on them. Video review technology might have applied a balm for Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova last year, when the Russian star found herself at the centre of a swirling controversy which saw electronic line-calling technology inexplicably turned off. But there was no call of 'out' from the electronic line judges, nor a review available to Pavlyuchenkova to overturn the point against her. ‘They stole it.’Wimbledon later confirmed that the ability to manually turn off the electronic line calling had been removed.
