Starting in 2025, the Wimbledon Championships will replace human line judges with AI line-calling technology to determine "out" and "fault" calls.

Here are a few key points:

• This decision follows extensive testing at the 2024 tournament, and builds on the technology already in use for ball-tracking.

• The move aims for greater accuracy and aligns Wimbledon with other major tournaments like the U.S. Open and Australian Open, which have already eliminated line judges.

• The French Open remains the only Grand Slam to rely solely on human officials.
