After 147 years, line judges will no longer be present at Wimbledon as the All England Club will now switch to automated line calling starting the 2025 season.
In place of the judges calling the shots ‘out’ and ‘fault’ on a serve, the technology will now be the one to do the job for all qualifying and main draw matches. The All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton said: “The decision to introduce Live Electronic Line Calling at The Championships was made following a significant period of consideration and consultation.”
She added: “Having reviewed the results of the testing undertaken at The Championships this year, we consider the technology to be sufficiently robust and the time is right to take this important step in seeking maximum accuracy in our officiating… For the players, it will offer them the same conditions they have played under at a number of other events on tour.”
“We take our responsibility to balance tradition and innovation at Wimbledon very seriously… Line umpires have played a central role in our officiating set-up at The Championships for many decades and we recognise their valuable contribution and thank them for their commitment and service,” Bolton explained.
In 2021 and 2022, the Australian Open and US Open adopted the electronic line calling respectively.
The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) has forced Wimbledon to decide to implement the electronic line calling for the men’s tour starting 2025, and the women’s WTA Tour is headed the same way.
Following Wimbledon’s decision, the only major competition that still uses line judges is the French Open on clay.

Billie Jean King Cup finals to be an eight-team competition starting 2025
The International Tennis Federation (ITF) has announced that the Billie Jean King Cup will be reduced from its current 12-team competition to an eight-team event in 2025. This is to replicate the current Davis Cup playing structure.
This change aims to bring the international team competitions in both women’s and men’s tennis closer together. In order to make this transition, the 2025 competition qualifiers will play across seven group events in April, with three teams in each group.
The round-robin competition style will be implemented in the course of three days of events that will all take place in one location. A host country will compete in the finals alongside seven group winners.
Furthermore, home-and-away matches will be reinstated in the qualifying matches starting 2026.
ITF president David Haggerty said: “I am excited for the future of both competitions… The format amendments aim to build on the success we have seen across both events in recent years and contribute towards our long-term ambition to bring them more in sync under the World Cup of Tennis banner.”
Meanwhile, the September stage of the Davis Cup in 2025 will consist of seven home-or-away matches in the course of two days instead of the current four group-stage matches spread over six days. The seven winning teams will compete in the final eight against a host country in November.
