Wimbledon's AI judges receive mixed reviews from players and fans
LONDON - The All England Club's decision to replace line judges with artificial intelligence technology at Wimbledon has received mixed reviews from players and fans alike. This week has marked the first time the tournament has been played without meticulously dressed judges determining whether the ball is in or out. The 300 line judges have been cut to 80 who are instead assisting chair umpires and interceding should the latest Hawk-Eye Electronic Line Calling (ELC) system, fail. The system uses AI to analyse footage from up to 18 cameras to track the progress of the ball and decide if it is in or out. Sally Bolton, the Chief Executive of the All England Club, said the new system was brought in to ensure the calls were accurate and not to cut costs. 'It's not a money-saving exercise; it's about evolving the tournament and making sure that we're providing the most effective possible line calling,' she said. World number one Jannik Sinner told a press conference after his victory over fellow Italian and close friend Luca Nardi: 'As tennis tries to get better for the umpire it's very difficult to see, especially when first serves are over 200km per hour, so it's very difficult to see in a small space if they're in or out, so for sure the technology helps, especially here on grass.' However, other players found problems with the technology. On Monday, China's Yuan Yue complained that the system was too quiet for her to hear its decision. There were small protests outside the grounds against the technology, while some fans expressed sadness about the absence of line judges – a tradition that goes back to the 1870s - and the drama that often accompanies a player's challenge. 'Tennis is a physical sport, but it's also a mental game and at a professional level I think that idea of challenging a call is really part of the game,' Jess from Oxford told Reuters. 'As a spectator when they review the footage and everybody is clapping, and it's the whole thing that this decision comes out and there's uproar or whatever. "It's sad that part of the atmosphere is gone, because you can't challenge the calls now. It's AI, it's resolute.' Ivan from Northern Ireland raised concerns that the technology may have some teething problems. 'It was strange not having a line judge. We watched a game on Court Two and a couple of times a ball from where we were sitting, which was close to the line, was out. 'The player pointed to it and stopped and looked to the umpire, and he just ignored it, and the player accepted it. But I expected to see the replay. "There were a couple of other times when it was obviously out and obviously in and the replay came up. So the replays were not consistent.'

Prayers Pouring In For Women's Tennis Star Jessica Pegula
Prayers Pouring In For Women's Tennis Star Jessica Pegula originally appeared on The Spun. Tennis fans are keeping Jessica Pegula in their thoughts after Tuesday's loss at Wimbledon. Pegula, the No. 3 women's player in the world, was dismantled by Elisabetta Cocciaretto 6-2, 6-3 in the opening round at Wimbledon. It was a disappointing result considering she was coming off a title run at Bad Homburg. Advertisement "She played absolutely incredible tennis," Pegula said. "Do I think I played the best match ever? No. But I definitely don't think I was playing bad. It wasn't like I was playing that bad. She just was hitting her shots and going for it, serving big, serving high percentage, going big second serves, redirecting the ball. It was just her day, I honestly think." This is the third Grand Slam tournament in a row that Pegula failed to reach the quarterfinals. After she lost in the fourth round at the French Open, she received a handful of death threats from angry gamblers on social media. "These betters are insane and delusional and I don't allow dms and try to remember when to shut my comments off during tournament weeks but they always find a way to my timeline," Pegula wrote. "This stuff has never really bothered me much but does any other sport deal with this to our level? I'd love to know because it seems to be predominately tennis?? It's so disturbing." Pegula added, "Every person on tour deals with it. It's so bad. Those are just really small snippets. I get told my family should get cancer and die from people on here on a regular basis. Absolutely crazy." Jul 1, 2025; Wimbledon, UNITED KINGDOM; Jessica Pegula of the United States serves the ball during her match against Elisabetta Cocciaretto of Italy on day two at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Mullane-Imagn Images. Even though Pegula has limited comments on Instagram, fans are worried she'll receive more nasty messages in the coming days. Advertisement "I feel for Pegula! She comes from playing one of her best tennis to find a very determined player that fought every point," one fan said. "She's been upset very early, a few times in the last few tournaments. It seems to happen when Jessica Pegula can't seem to focus, because of family issues. I hope and pray everyone is ok in the Pegula family," another person wrote. "I feel so bad for these athletes like Pegula having to take this sort of abuse on social media," a third person commented. We're certainly hoping people leave Pegula alone. There's no place in sports for disgraceful behavior. Pegula will regroup and try to make a run at the US Open later this summer. She made it to the final last year before losing to Aryna Sabalenka.

Jack Draper determined to unlock his grass-court game as he eyes Wimbledon first
Jack Draper has a warning for his rivals – he is still finding his way on grass. The fourth seed breezed into the second round of Wimbledon, dropping just five games in little over an hour before Sebastian Baez withdrew injured early in the third set. Advertisement The Argentinian had slipped in the opening game of the second set but Draper was utterly in control from the first point of the contest. He will take on former runner-up Marin Cilic in the second round with the chance to break new ground already having never been beyond the last 64. Unlike Andy Murray, who came to the fore with breakthrough performances at Wimbledon, this has so far been Draper's least successful grand slam – something he is determined to change. 'I think grass in general is a surface I'm still trying to find my best level on,' he said. 'On the hard courts at US Open, even on the clay this year, I think I found my best level for what I can play right now. I feel like I haven't yet found that on the grass. Advertisement 'I feel like it's coming, so I'm looking forward to that, that moment when it all sort of comes together and I can really show my best level. Marin Cilic was the runner-up at Wimbledon in 2017 (Daniel Leal-Olivas/POOL) 'I think I've still got so much to unlock on the grass. I think that's really exciting for me. I love Wimbledon. I think if there's any tournament I want to play my best in, any tournament that I want to win, it's this one. 'I'm going to do everything in my power and everything in my control to get to that point.' Draper admits he was stung by a second-round loss to compatriot Cameron Norrie last year. 'It did get to me, the pressure I was putting on myself,' said the 23-year-old. 'I definitely look back a year on and I feel a lot calmer in myself. This year I feel more confident in my ability and my ability not only to play but to problem solve, to know how to play in five sets.' Advertisement The draw did the home hope no favours, with veteran Cilic a definite potential danger. The Croatian reached the final back in 2017, three years after winning the US Open, and has struggled with a knee problem in recent seasons, but he is now fit again and won the warm-up event in Nottingham. 'Unbelievable career, amazing player,' said Draper. 'Obviously been one of the most consistent guys out there. I'm not sure how many years he was in the top 10, top 15. Used to watch him play all the time. 'Anyone who wins a Challenger on the grass before coming here, they're feeling good on the grass. So it's going to be a really tough challenge. I'm ready for that.' Advertisement Draper remains a down-to-earth character despite his current stardom, evidenced by the fact he still drives the same Volkswagen Polo he bought when he passed his driving test. It is also the same car in which he and Jack Pinnington Jones shared early morning journeys to the National Training Centre in Roehampton as teenagers. Jack Pinnington Jones will look to reach round three (John Walton/PA) 'He treats it awfully,' said Pinnington Jones. 'He's like, 'I don't need a nice car in London, I'm going to ding it anyway'. He loves it.' Pinnington Jones chose not to follow Draper straight into the professional game, heading to college in the United States, but he could not have made a better Wimbledon debut, defeating Argentinian former top-30 player Tomas Etcheverry in straight sets. Advertisement The 23-year-old will now take on Italian 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli. The third British man taking to the courts on Thursday is veteran Dan Evans, who is relishing the chance to face Novak Djokovic. Dan Evans celebrates beating Jay Clarke (John Walton/PA) The 35-year-old knows the end of his career is approaching and is trying to soak up the experience. 'Normally I tend not to bring a lot of people to the tournaments,' said Evans, who defeated compatriot Jay Clarke in round one. 'But this year I've decided to have a lot of family and friends – well, friends. My dad thought a round of golf was more important. I might not want him to come now.'
