Wimbledon 2025: Why are there no line judges?

Advertisements

No, line judges will not be used at Wimbledon this summer.

Instead, the grass-court tournament will rely solely on electronic line calling, ending its 147-year use of line judges.

A familiar sight around the edges of the courts for decades, the men and women who shout “out” and “fault” will be replaced by technology.

This technology will be in place for qualifying and the main draw.

Electronic line calling uses cameras, computers and sensors to track a ball and is used by tennis umpires to judge whether a ball is in or out.

This season the men’s tour – the ATP – has adopted the technology across all of its events, while the WTA – the women’s tour – has also been using it at many of its events.

The ATP said the move to electronic line calling was to “optimise accuracy and consistency across tournaments, match courts and surfaces”.

A combined men’s and women’s event offers an easy opportunity for the technology to be used across the two tournaments.
