Alexander Zverev was warned to take a picture of a ball mark at the Madrid Open as there was a dispute over the electronic line on the soil.
The system has become common on other surfaces in recent years, but soil events largely continued to check the mark left from the ball down from the ball coming down from their chair when the call elections were contested.
The accuracy of the electronic system was also suspected that the manner in which the clay moves were there, but the judges of this season line have been removed from all the events on the ATP tour and several incidents on the WTA tour.
Predictions that can prove to be problematic, the latest player with top seed Zarev was incited by a call during the third round at Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in Madrid in the third round in Madrid.
At the first point of the 10th game in the second set, and after a call by his opponent a few moments, Zeverev was assured that a backhand landed from Davidovich Fokina, which told umpire Mohammad Lahani that it was called after the “malfunction in the system”.
When nothing was opposed, Zeverev took his phone out of his bag and took a picture of Mark, warning for unsafe conduct.
World number one Aryana Sabalenka experienced the same position in Stuttgart earlier this month, while Victoria Azarenka posted an image of a call from another Madrid match on social media.
The French Open remains an outsider so far and will continue with the line judges for the next month’s tournament.
Somewhere else in the Spanish capital, rescue champion Andre Rubalav lost 6-4 0–6 6-4 to Alexander Bublight and resulted in the world’s top 15.

In women’s draw, top seed Sabalenka had to fight back from a set to see Ellis Martens 3-6 6-2 6-1, but the third seeded Jessica Pegula and the sixth seed Zasmine Paolini both fell.
Pegula was defeated 6–3 6–2 by Japan’s Mouka Uchizima, while Polyini was defeated 6–2 6–1 by Maria Sakkari, resurring this week after reunioning with British coach Tom Hill.
