The Wimbledon Championships will replace human line judges with an electronic line-calling system in 2025, marking a significant shift in officiating practices in professional tennis.
This change to electronic line calling, aligned with the sport's move toward technology, reflects a belief that it enhances accuracy, a sentiment shared widely among players despite some reservations.
The decision to adopt electronic line calling represents a departure from a 147-year-old tradition and follows similar shifts in other major tournaments, including the Australian Open and US Open.
Electronic line calling systems, such as Hawk-Eye Live, utilize multiple cameras to track the ball's trajectory, drastically improving the accuracy of line calls over manual officiating.
