Wimbledon<\/a> is the third Grand Slam to use the system, with Roland Garros choosing not to have electronic line calling<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Canadian Open<\/a> is using electronic line calling, but a WTA<\/a> player believes it made a mistake in her first round match this year.<\/p>\n Canadian wildcard Carson Branstine was playing former world number three Maria Sakkari<\/a> in her first round match in Montreal this year.<\/p>\n Branstine, who played Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon<\/a> this year, was once again on the losing end of the result against Sakkari.<\/p>\n Sakkari<\/a> beat Branstine, 6-2 3-6 7-5, in a tight three set match at the Canadian Open.<\/p>\n One of the big talking points from the match came when Sakkari was serving for the match at 6-5 15-30 in the third set.<\/p>\n The crucial subsequent point was a controversial one, as Branstine was convinced that Sakkari\u2019s backhand had gone out.<\/p>\n Electronic line calling adjudged the shot to have been in and as Branstine had hit the next shot she was unable to see the call on the big screen.<\/p>\n Branstine was frustrated on the court and expressed her views on the situation in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter).<\/p>\n She wrote, \u201cThey didn\u2019t let me replay this clear mistake by the electronic line call because I played the shot after\u2026BRUH obviously I tried to play the shot the damn thing didn\u2019t call the ball out (crying face emoji).
