💨 Abstract

This year's Wimbledon marked a significant change by adopting electronic line calling, eliminating the need for hundreds of line judges. Wendy Smith, a veteran line judge, expressed her disappointment, noting the loss of a cherished tradition and the unique human touch that line judges provided. The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) defended the decision, highlighting the consistency and accuracy of electronic calls.
