Wimbledon replaced human line judges with an electronic line calling system (ELC) this year, resulting in player dissatisfaction due to inaccuracies. Emma Raducanu highlighted a missed call where a ball was incorrectly judged in, while Jack Draper voiced concerns about the ELC's reliability. Players also struggled with the new automated speaker system. An incident occurred during a match where the ELC failed to track a ball, prompting a replay. Wimbledon attributed some errors to human oversight and promised adjustments to the technology.
Debbie Jevans, chair of the All England Club, stated that they were frequently questioned about the absence of electronic line calling due to its perceived accuracy compared to human line judges.
Emma Raducanu criticized the AI line judges for incorrectly calling a ball in that was clearly out, as shown in a television replay.
Ben Shelton had to accelerate play after being informed that the AI line system would stop functioning soon due to decreasing sunlight.
The technology encountered issues during a match, leading to an incorrect call that required the players to replay a point, which Wimbledon later attributed to human error.
