The sight of immaculately dressed line judges standing or crouching at the side and back of the grass courts has been a feature at the Grand Slam for 147 years.
Electronic line calling was first used as an experiment at the Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan in 2017 and was adopted more widely during the Covid-19 pandemic. It will be used on all courts across ATP Tour events from 2025.

Wimbledon said the Hawk-Eye Live Electronic Line Calling (Live ELC) will also be used during the qualifying tournament.
