Madrid Open ELC Under Fire: Mirra Andreeva Demands Human Oversight Amidst Growing Player Frustration
Rising star Mirra Andreeva has intensified the debate over Electronic Line Calling (ELC) at the Madrid Open, demanding that umpires be allowed to override the automated system, especially on clay courts. Following a disputed call in her match, Andreeva joined other top players like Alexander Zverev and Elena Rybakina in expressing a profound lack of trust in the technology’s accuracy. Her plea highlights a system-wide problem that many feel only human intervention can resolve, as the French Open’s stance against ELC seems increasingly vindicated.
