Cameron Norrie halts play and forces umpire announcement in Italian Open chaos
Cameron Norrie stopped play in the middle of his second-round clash with Daniil Medvedev when the automated system failed to call a ball long. Electronic line-calling has been introduced on the clay this year in an effort to provide consistency and clarity on whether a ball has landed inside the lines, but the system failed in Rome on Friday.
Norrie immediately stopped the point and circled the mark on the clay, waving his arms in disbelief when no call of ‘out’ came. Players can no longer overrule the automatic calls but the umpire stepped in to make an announcement when he realised the audio malfunctioned.
