The system uses cameras, computers and sensors to monitor ball paths to detect whether shots have landed inside or outside the lines, all without the need for human intervention.
Unlike other championships using standardised automated voices, Wimbledon has decided that its team members will deliver the electronic calls over loudspeakers.
“We will use different voices on different courts so there is no confusion across courts that are close together,” says Eloise Tyson, Head of Communications at Wimbledon.
The voices will feature tour guides and backstage Championship staff, though the tournament has stressed it will not make individuals the face of electronic line calling.
