Three Major Changes to Wimbledon Championships 2025 - Liverpool Echo
- The 2025 Wimbledon tournament began on Monday at the All England Club, replacing human line judges with an electronic line-calling system.
- This change followed Wimbledon being one of the last major events not fully using electronic line calling, despite other Grand Slams adopting it by 2021.
- The system uses 18 cameras per court and recorded voices announce 'out' calls automatically, while about 79 trained match assistants remain to support if needed.
- Pauline Eyre, a 20-year line judge veteran, called the shift a 'sad day' and said Wimbledon viewers would miss iconic interactions between players and officials.
- Over 200 former line judges are no longer needed, marking a significant break from tradition and suggesting Wimbledon will never look or sound the same again.
