Electronic line calling will replace line judges at Wimbledon beginning in 2025, officials at the All England Lawn Tennis Club announced Wednesday.

Wimbledon now joins other tournaments worldwide to use the electronic system following a trial during this year's competition. The technology will be in place during all qualifying and championship matches and will be used to call the "out" and "fault" calls that have been the responsibility of the line judges.

The ATP Tour last year adopted the use of electronic line calling starting in 2025.

"The decision to introduce live electronic line calling at the Championships was made following a significant period of consideration and consultation," said All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton in a statement.

"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 recognize their valuable contribution and thank them for their commitment and service."
