Line judges OUT

FOR 147 years their familiar cries have echoed around the courts at Wimbledon.

But the iconic tennis line judges are being called "OUT" themselves now and replaced by technology.

Fans will no doubt miss the smartly dressed men and women who have been as much a fixture of the annual tournament as legends such as Roger Federer, John McEnroe, Andy Murray, Steffi Graf and the Williams sisters.

But decisions will now be made by a Live Electronic Line system, which is expected to rule out human error that leads to appeals by players.

Speakers will relay the out calls.

REDS WERE THERE FOR TAKING

ANTHONY ELANGA benchmarked Nottingham Forest's draw against Liverpool, saying: \"It feels like a loss.\" The Sweden international believes Arne Slot's side took the host's threat seriously at the City Ground and that shows that Nuno Espirito Santo's men are a force to be reckoned with. For an hour, Forest were in the driving seat but they had keeper Matz Sels to thank for four saves in the final quarter as the Merseysiders cranked up the pressure.
