Wimbledon has made changes to its electronic line-calling system.

Ball-tracking technology was accidentally deactivated in a fourth -round match on Sunday .

The All England Lawn Tennis Club has removed the ability for Hawk-Eye operators to manually deactivate the system.

Umpire Nico Helwerth opted to replay the point - which Kartal won - but was criticised for not using his authority to call the ball out.
