Wimbledon to Replace 300 Line Judges with Electronic System in 2025 After 2024 Test, Ending 147-Year Tradition
Oct 9, 2024, 11:15 AM
The All England Club has announced that Wimbledon will eliminate line judges for the first time in its 147-year history, replacing them with an electronic line calling system starting in 2025. This decision aligns with the ATP's push towards technological advancements in tennis officiating. The automated system will be implemented across all 18 match courts, including the prestigious Centre Court. The move signifies a significant shift in the tournament's operations, as approximately 300 line officials will be replaced by artificial intelligence technology that will make 'out' and 'fault' calls. This change comes after a successful test run in 2024, marking a new era for the iconic grass-court championship.
