Wimbledon has decided to replace human line judges with live electronic line calling technology, effective from 2025, for increased accuracy in officiating.
Sally Bolton, Wimbledon's chief executive, stated the decision followed a period of significant consideration and was based on successful testing of the technology, enhancing officiating precision.
The Lawn Tennis Association expressed concerns about the impact on the officiating career pathway but acknowledged the need to adapt to global changes in officiating methods.
Other tennis tournaments, like the Australian Open, have successfully implemented similar technology, which is known for providing more accurate decision-making in matches.
