Striped shirts, cream trousers and hat on his head. The outfit chosen for the latest edition of the Championships will also be remembered as the last one ever worn by line judges at the AELTC (All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club). From next year also to Wimbledonin fact, it changes. Alongside the Hawke Eye, ELC (Live Electronic Calling) will also make its entry into the prestigious Grand Slam tournament in London.
It changes after 147 years
After 147 years, therefore, it will not be the ‘line judges’ – around 300 in total – who will call the out on the courts of the All England Club, but a electronic system. The CEO of the historic English club, Sally Bolton, declared that the innovation was approved after “long and adequate considerations and consultations” and that it will take the place of line judges for “out” and “fault” calls .
New times for finals
The program of the two singles finals has been postponed from 2pm on Saturday and Sunday to 4pm to attract more viewers, the men’s and women’s doubles finals will be held first at 1pm.
