Fellow Brits Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu have suggested there are issues with the automatic line-calling system, which replaced line judges at Wimbledon for the first time this year. Raducanu even said it needed “fixing”, but Kartal disagreed with her compatriots.

Sonay Kartal addressed the controversy she experienced with her opponent Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the fourth round of Wimbledon. The Brit fell in the tournament's fourth round to the veteran Russian in a match marked by a failed electronic line call at a key moment.
