However, the current system is imperfect and the latest update is in a ...Keep reading http://dlvr.it/T8lV75

Wimbledon's elegantly dressed line judges might be losing their jobs. All matches at next year's championship will feature electronic line calling, the tennis tournament's organizer announced last week, upending 147 years of tradition. The change puts #Wimbledon in line with most other major pro #tennis events, which have used #technology to call lines for some time. Wimbledon tested the automated system last year and determined that it's accurate enough to fully deploy. Previously, Wimbledon let players "#challenge," or review, line calls made by humans a limited number of times per match, using an electronic system. Pro tennis players generally prefer electronic line calling because it makes fewer mistakes. Humans, understandably, have trouble seeing whether a serve hit at 130 mph is out by a millimeter or two. https://lnkd.in/eg8XQE5q.
