The move aligns with the ATP's ongoing modernization efforts in the sport, aiming to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of line calls during matches. The electronic line calling system will be implemented on all courts, including the prestigious Centre Court, fundamentally altering the officiating landscape at Wimbledon.
