Technology instead of people
Breaking with tradition! Wimbledon takes a new path
The traditional tennis tournament in Wimbledon is also making a radical change by doing away with line judges.
From 2025, the Grand Slam event will rely on a technical solution that will take over the "out" calls instead of people. The 138th edition of the grass-court classic is thus breaking with tradition. The tournament will be held next year from June 30 to July 13.
Following tests, the technology is considered sufficiently robust and the time is ripe for such an important step on the way to maximum accuracy, the All England Club said in a statement. The electronic system is now used at a number of tennis tournaments. Line judges have already been abolished at the Australian Open and the US Open. They were still used at the French Open this year. On the ATP Tour, line judges are to be completely replaced from 2025.
