The All England Club said technology will be used to give the ‘out’ and ‘fault’ calls at the championships from 2025, eliminating the need for human officials to make them
A line judge makes a call during a Wimbledon match between Novak Djokovic and Andrey Rublev, in London, on July 11, 2023. Wimbledon is replacing line judges with electronic line-calling, the latest step into the modern age by the oldest Grand Slam tennis tournament.
Wimbledon organizers said the decision to adopt live electronic line calling was made following extensive testing at the 2024 tournament and “builds on the existing ball-tracking and line-calling technology that has been in place for many years.” The move makes the French Open the only Grand Slam tournament without some form of electronic line-calling. The Australian Open and U.S. Open already had eliminated line judges and only have chair umpires on court.
Line-calling technology has long been used at Wimbledon and other tennis tournaments to call whether serves are in or out.
