Title:
Tennis Ace Erin Routliffe Blames Robots for Error in Australian Open Match
After a heated point in her and partner Gabriela Dabrowski’s winning match in women’s doubles tennis at the 2025 Australian Open, American tennis player Erin Routliffe lashed out at the crowd, citing robot technology and questioned why they lacked a robotic court official to intervene in disputes of this kind, “Oh, my god we have robots everywhere, but not one for the net?” Following the call-over, Routliffe’s opponents, Beatrice Hadded Maia’s and Laura Schiegemuld, went about their next job, which includes the second step, in another match against some other pair but they will surely have some.
