The All England Club will replace long-held Wimbledon tradition of line judges with artificial intelligence to ensure maximum accuracy in officiating for the 2025 tournament.
Sally Bolton stated, 'We consider the technology to be sufficiently robust and the time is right to take this important step in seeking maximum accuracy in our officiating.'
Bolton emphasized the need to balance 'tradition and innovation', recognizing the 'valuable contribution' of line umpires throughout Wimbledon history.
Wimbledon will now schedule the singles finals later at 4 p.m. local time to enhance viewership, aiming to crown champions before a larger audience.
