Wimbledon Replaces Line Judges with Tech After 147 Years

Wimbledon organizers announced Wednesday that after 147 years, the famous tennis tournament will no longer use human line judges moving forward. In 2025, the grass-court Grand Slam will rely on an electronic line-calling system (ELC) instead. Since the Association of Tennis Professionals announced in 2023 that all of its events would move toward an ELC format, two of the four Grand Slams have already integrated it. With Wimbledon now on board, the last remaining tournament using line judges is Roland-Garros.
