Wimbledon is set to make a historic change by eliminating line judges for the first time in its 147-year history. Starting in 2025, live electronic line calling (ELC) will take the place of human officials during matches. This shift marks a significant departure from the traditional presence of line judges, who have been a staple at the tournament since its inception. The new technology will be implemented across all courts during the main draw at the All England Club, as well as in the qualifying tournament held off-site in Roehampton. ELC technology was successfully trialed during this year's championships, paving the way for its full adoption in the upcoming tournaments. This move aligns Wimbledon with other major Grand Slam events, such as the Australian Open and the US Open, where similar electronic line calling systems are already in use. The decision reflects a growing trend in tennis to embrace technology for enhanced accuracy and efficiency in officiating.
