"Nobody can argue about the enormous benefits. But at the same time, we can’t help glancing back to times past, when the world was a little gentler" @simonrbriggs in excellent form with this on the sadness of Wimbledon replacing line judges www.telegraph.co.uk/tennis/2025/06/30/wimbledon-line-judges-robots-sadness-hawkeye-ralph-lauren/

What has happened to Wimbledon line judges?

But Wimbledon, which started on Monday, is for the first time breaking its 147-year tradition of having line judges in characteristic suits determine if the ball is in or out of bounds. They have been replaced with robots and artificial intelligence (AI) that uses camera footage to track the ball and make calls.

How many line judges are at Wimbledon?

In the absence of the 300 line judges that have been used for the past 148 years, up to 18 cameras, developed by HawkEye, are situated around each court to track the progress of the ball and determine whether it is in or out.

Is Nick Kyrgios in Wimbledon?

Nick Kyrgios will be absent from the courts at Wimbledon for the third straight year due to injury, but the 30-year-old Australian will still have a presence in SW19. Nick Kyrgios constantly made headlines at Wimbledon last year – and the controversial Australian may have a similar role in 2025.
