Wimbledon, the world’s oldest Grand Slam tennis tournament, is making a big change.
Starting in 2025, the event will replace its traditional line judges with electronic line-calling technology. This system will determine whether shots are “in” or “out” using advanced ball-tracking, aiming to make calls more accurate.
The decision follows tests during the 2024 tournament and builds on technology already used in recent years. Sally Bolton, the head of the All England Club, said the change would offer players the same conditions seen in other major tennis events like the US Open. While some fans might miss the iconic line judges in their smart uniforms, Wimbledon leaders say they are trying to balance tradition with modern improvements.
With this shift, the French Open will be the only Grand Slam still using human line judges. Wimbledon also announced that the men’s and women’s singles finals will start later in the afternoon to attract larger audiences.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
