Elena Rybakina says she has no \u201ctrust\u201d in the electronic line-calling system after a controversial point during her match against Zheng Qinwen in the Madrid Open.<\/p>\n
The World No 2 rallied to win after losing the first set but was left annoyed after one point was called in favour of her opponent by the electronic system.<\/p>\n
A serve was called an ace but Rybakina remonstrated with the umpire, asking that the official come down and see the visible mark left on the clay surface.<\/p>\n
After the match, Rybakina said there was not even a mark close to what the TV had suggested.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe system is wrong, this is not a joke,\u201d Rybakina said. \u201cI won\u2019t trust it at all. Because there was no mark even close to what the TV showed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rybakina likened it to an incident involving Alexander Zverev last year at the same tournament with the German taking a photo of a shot he believed was out but the system said was in.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was, I think, similar to what Zverev had last year because it was in front of her (the umpire\u2019s) nose,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t not see it. It was pretty frustrating. It\u2019s kind of a stolen point. I understand it was her serve and she was serving really well, but it\u2019s really frustrating.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was serving really well. She was also returning all my serves. I don\u2019t think that the serve was really an issue today.<\/p>\n \u201cSo yeah, I\u2019m just happy that I took the opportunity in the second set. I was fighting, trying to always stay close. Somehow again, another three-set match, but I\u2019m happy.\u201d<\/p>\n Rybakina will face Anastasia Potapova in the next round on Monday.<\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?
