Rybakina's Racket: Electronic Line-Calling Controversy Sparks Debate

Elena Rybakina expressed distrust in the electronic line-calling system following a controversial call during her match against Zheng Qinwen at the Madrid Open. The incident, reminiscent of a previous clash involving Alexander Zverev, left Rybakina frustrated as she advanced to compete against Anastasia Potapova.

Elena Rybakina has publicly criticized the electronic line-calling system after a controversial decision during her victory over Zheng Qinwen at the Madrid Open. The incident occurred when Zheng was awarded an ace during the second set, despite visible evidence suggesting it was out.

Rybakina, who secured her spot in the last 16 with a 4-6 6-4 6-3 win, expressed her frustration to reporters, stating, 'I won't trust it at all.' She likened the situation to Alexander Zverev's notable dispute with officials at the same tournament last year.

Rybakina called the contested point 'kind of a stolen point' but acknowledged Zheng's strong serving performance. She is now set to face Anastasia Potapova for a chance to enter the quarter-finals.
