The grass-court Grand Slam based in London announced it will switch to electronic line calling next year, after 147 years of using human line judges
The Wimbledon Championships, the most prestigious of professional tennis events, declared it would no longer use human line judges at next year’s tournament. In 2025, the London event will use an electronic line-calling system instead. First reported in The Times of London, the announcement marks a radical change to a 147-year-old tradition, albeit one that’s on trend with the sport’s broad shift toward technology-assisted officiating.
Two decades later, Hawk-Eye calling is so dependable that it is automated at the US Open; players don’t even have to ask for it now. During a match, ELC systems capture huge swaths of data: not just the ball at 70 frames per second of every second of a match, but also the player movements as well. This provides a lot of stats for broadcasters during the match, as well as a wealth of information back to the players to assess their performance after.
