Stylishly dressed line judges are one of many traditions in Wimbledon tennis.

But now their time is over.

From next year, the venerable Grand Slam tournament in London will also use AI instead of line judges to determine whether the balls are in or out. In a statement, Wimbledon says the decision is based on the thorough testing of the system during this year's tournament.

The technology has been used previously in both the Australian Open and the US Open, but both Wimbledon and the French Championships have stuck to using line judges.

The men's ATP tour has previously decided to use "electronic line-calling" fully from 2025, to get as correct and consistent judgments as possible.
