Wimbledon’s first tournament without human line judges is being overshadowed by a series of high-profile glitches in its new Live Electronic Line Calling system, rekindling debate over the role of technology in tennis officiating. The latest malfunction came on 8 July when the automated voice suddenly declared “fault” during a rally in the men’s quarter-final between Taylor Fritz and Karen Khachanov. Chair umpire Louise Azemar-Engzell halted play and ordered the point replayed; Fritz went on to win 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(4). Tournament officials later said the cameras failed to register the start of the point because a ball kid was still crossing the net. Two days earlier the system was inadvertently switched off for three points in Sonay Kartal’s fourth-round match against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, prompting the Russian to complain that the error had “stolen” a game from her. The All England Club blamed human error and has since disabled operators’ ability to manually deactivate Hawk-Eye’s ball-tracking cameras. Players including Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper have questioned the accuracy of the technology, with Draper calling it “not 100 percent precise.” All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton defended the rollout, saying the camera-tracking platform is electronic rather than fully AI-driven and still relies on human oversight, but she acknowledged the club is “deeply disappointed” by the mistakes. Electronic line calling is already standard at the Australian and US Opens and on the ATP Tour, leaving Roland Garros as the only Grand Slam still using human officials. Wimbledon’s early troubles are likely to intensify scrutiny of the system as the sport balances technological efficiency against the tradition—and perceived fairness—of human adjudication.
