Wimbledon will break with tradition and replace line judges with electronic line calling. The decision follows thorough consultation, aiming for maximum accuracy in officiating.
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.
For the players, it will offer them the same conditions they have played under at a number of other events on tour.
Line umpires have played a central role in our officiating set-up for many decades...we thank them for their commitment and service.
